Abstract: State estimation (SE) involves estimating state variables of interest that cannot be directly measured by using measurable variables. In water distribution system (WDS) SE, nodes are often aggregated to reduce the number ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new methodology that can select the pipes to be rehabilitated and/or replaced in an existing water‐distribution system and determine the increase in pumping capacities so that the water demand and ...

Abstract: A traditional single-scenario design approach considers the most probable future scenario, which is very risky and may result in high supplementary cost or overpayment (i.e., regret cost). An alternative involves ...

Abstract: Robustness is generally defined as an ability of a system to maintain its function under a defined set of disturbances. To introduce robustness to the water distribution systems (WDSs) design, chance constrained, or so-called ...

Abstract: Hydraulic analysis schemes for water distribution networks can be divided into demand-driven analysis (DDA) and pressure-driven analysis (PDA) according to the ways of calculating available outflow at nodes based on the ...

Abstract: A new seismic reliability evaluation model is proposed that quantifies the impact of earthquakes on hydraulic behavior of water supply networks. Probabilistic seismic events are produced in the target areas, and the depth ...
