Battling Arrow’s Paradox to Discover Robust Water Management Alternatives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study demonstrates how Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, a theory of social choice, is of direct concern when formulating water-resources systems planning problems. Traditional strategies for solving multiobjective water ...
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 ...

Linking Reclaimed Water Consumption with Quantitative Downstream Flow Impacts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although reclaimed water—municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent—can serve as a locally sustainable alternative water resource, this additional consumptive use of reclaimed water may cause impacts downstream. This ...
Estimating the Impacts of Climate Change and Population Growth on Flood Discharges in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study reflects a portion of the riverine analysis for a Federal Emergency Management Agency initiative to estimate the economic risks associated with climate and land use change to the U.S. National Flood Insurance ...
