Multilevel Factorial Fractional Programming for Sustainable Water Resources Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The need for more efficient water use has increased in importance with growing water scarcity and increasing competition among water users. Measuring the economic efficiency of water use has become a useful indicator for ...
Robust Planning of Environmental Management Systems with Adjustable Conservativeness under Compound Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A factor that impedes the practicability of environmental models is a lack of confidence in system performance stability in the face of uncertainty. This paper presents the development and application of a fuzzy radial ...
Waste Management Model Associated with Public-Private Partnership in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A waste management model associated with public-private partnerships (WMMPPP) was formulated and applied to the City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The WMMPPP has the advantages of considering a combination of public and ...
Analysis of Suspended Sediment Transport in Open-Channel Flows: Kinetic-Model-Based Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of suspended sediment transport in open channels under various flow conditions through a kinetic-model-based simulation. The kinetic model, accounting for both sediment-turbulence ...
Water Quality Index: A Fuzzy River-Pollution Decision Support Expert System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water quality management policies, which are proposed to prevent, control, or treat environmental problems related to quality of water, are broad and complex issues. We have various types of water resources, different water ...
