RISReliable, Robust, and Resilient System Design Framework with Application to Wastewater-Treatment Plant Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Optimal Distribution and Control of Storage Tank to Mitigate the Impact of New Developments on Receiving Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Storage tanks are commonly installed in a combined sewer system to control the discharge of combined sewer overflows that have been identified as a leading source for receiving water pollution. The traditional approach to ...
Reducing the Complexity of Multiobjective Water Distribution System Optimization through Global Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the use of global sensitivity analysis as a screening tool to reduce the computational demands associated with multiobjective design and rehabilitation of water distribution systems (WDS). Sobol’s ...
Comparing Performance Indicators for Assessing and Building Resilient Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water distribution systems (WDSs) are critical infrastructures that need to be resilient to cope with and quickly recover from exceptional conditions in an uncertain and challenging future. To build resilience in the design ...
Basin-Wide Water Resources Management Strategies Improve Cooperation Effectiveness and Benefits
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Basin-wide cooperation is an approach to resolve water disputes and improve the resilience of transboundary river basins to extreme droughts under climate change. However, the effectiveness of cooperation among various ...
Twin-Hierarchy Decomposition for Optimal Design of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology to decompose water distribution systems (WDSs) into a twin-hierarchy pipeline structure consisting of backbone mains and community feeders. The method has three steps: (1) clustering ...
Failure Impact Analysis of Isolation Valves in a Water Distribution Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Isolation valves are crucial components of water distribution systems for separating pipe segments from the network for repair or maintenance purpose. This paper looks at the impacts of isolation valve failure on three ...
Quantifying Resilience via Multiscale Feedback Loops in Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water distribution network (WDN) resilience depends on both the underlying flow dynamics and the network topology. Although existing literature has examined a variety of complex network centrality and spectral properties, ...
Cost-Benefit Framework for Optimal Design of Water Transfer Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water transfer systems are increasingly seen as a response to regional water stresses. The expensive capital cost of such massive projects calls for satisfying the desired requirements with a minimum investment, ...
Optimal Design of Water Distribution Systems Using Many-Objective Visual Analytics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the use of many-objective optimization for water distribution system (WDS) design or rehabilitation problems. The term many-objective optimization refers to optimization with four or more objectives. The ...
