Abstract: The operation of pumping stations in a water distribution network (WDN) represents one of the largest expenses due to its energy consumption. The selection and location of pumps are a complex problem, since the dynamic ...

Abstract: Water distribution is an important service due to its economic, social, and health purpose. Therefore, a continuous supply is required to keep consumers satisfied. However, emergency scenarios of water scarcity, caused by ...

Abstract: Leaks are a constant problem in water distribution systems, resulting in wasted resources, environmental impacts, and financial losses. Thus, it is crucial to develop effective and agile methods to detect network leaks. ...

Abstract: Water demand continuously increases in urban zones, and water scarcity is frequently associated with a lack or a reduction of water availability at water sources and maintenance problems, such as leakage and pipe aging. ...

Abstract: One of the primary concerns in water supply systems is pressure control. High pressure increases both leakage and the risk of pipes bursting, while low pressure can reduce the water supplied to consumers and allow the ...
