Abstract: Various water distribution leak detection and localization methods have been proposed for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data collection systems. However, because their available numbers of measurements ...

Abstract: Calibration of a water distribution network is a long, tedious task, if analyzed by an engineer, with no guarantee of determining the proper system parameters. In addition, more utilities are moving toward automated control ...

Abstract: A methodology for determining optimal pump operation schedules for water‐distribution systems is presented. In addition to minimizing the energy‐consumption cost, the model includes a constraint to limit the number of pumps ...

Abstract: Channel maintenance dredging is a significant investment, and techniques to improve the decision process are needed. A methodology for determining the least cost schedule for inspecting and dredging a single channel reach ...

Abstract: A new methodology is developed for determining the optimal (minium‐cost) design of water distribution systems. The components that can be sized are the pipe network, pumps or pump station, and tanks. In addition, the optimal ...

Abstract: A general solution scheme for determining ground-water levels for channel/group-water systems with recharge is developed and verified. The analytical solution uses the Laplace transform method to solve a linearized form ...

Abstract: The requirements and basic components of a typical optimal control environment for water‐supply pumping systems are presented and discussed. Examined model components include hydraulic network models, demand forecast models, ...

Abstract: Partitioning a water distribution system (WDS) into district metered areas (DMAs) is a difficult task due to the complex WDS structure and simultaneous consideration of multiple constraints. Further, alternative metrics ...

Abstract: In 1993 P. F. Boulos and T. Altman developed an efficient explicit scheme for determining steady state water quality in a distribution system for conservative and zero-order reacting constituents. This approach is extended ...
