Abstract: Because the provision of an adequate and reliable water supply system involves a very high level of investment, it is essential that the layout and design of such systems are very carefully planned and the operation of ...

Abstract: A simulated annealing-based heuristic has been developed to obtain the least-cost design of a looped water distribution network. A Newton search method was used to solve the hydraulic network equations. Simulated annealing ...

Abstract: Sustainability is a major issue for water companies, who have to provide high quality services at achievable costs. In this context, water loss control and energy efficiency are two great challenges water companies have ...
