Abstract: Accounting for water in a distribution system can be improved by dividing systems into smaller, metered zones. This paper proposes an approach that could create boundaries for district metered areas (DMA) automatically on ...

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 ...

Abstract: Optimal rehabilitation of large water distribution systems (WDSs) with many decision variables is often time consuming and computationally expensive. This paper presents a new optimal rehabilitation methodology for WDSs ...

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 ...

Abstract: Improving the resilience of water distribution systems (WDSs) to handle natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes) is a critical step toward sustainable urban water management. This requires the water utility to be able ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of the Battle of Postdisaster Response and Restoration (BPDRR) presented in a special session at the first International water distribution systems analysis & computing and control in the ...

Abstract: Calibration is a process of comparing model results with field data and making the appropriate adjustments so that both results agree. Calibration methods can involve formal optimization methods or manual methods in which ...
