Abstract: The hydraulic reliability of a water distribution system can be defined as the probability that the system can provide the demanded flowrate at the required pressure head. Due to the random nature of future water demands, ...

Abstract: A new methodology is presented for the reliability analysis of pumping stations for water‐supply systems. The methodology considers both mechanical failure and hydraulic failure and models the available capacity of a pumping ...

Abstract: A planning model is developed for the determination of optimal water reuse allocation and wastewater treatment alternatives that minimizes the overall cost of water supply and wastewater treatment over a planning period. ...

Abstract: The companion paper by the writers developed a model for the determination of optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries for the purpose of balancing freshwater demands with the various types of fish harvests. This ...

Abstract: This paper presents two multiobjective models for the estuary‐management problem based upon goal‐programming procedures. The multiobjectives are the minimization of freshwater inflow into bays and estuaries and the ...

Abstract: A differential dynamic programming (DDP) procedure is applied to solve both linear and nonlinear estuarine-management problems to determine the optimal amount of freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries to maximize fishery ...

Abstract: A new type of estuary-management model based on discrete-time stochastic linear quadratic optimal control is presented. It is a feedback-control model that enables decision makers to determine the upstream reservoir releases ...

Abstract: Water-supply systems (WSSs) and electrical power systems (EPSs) are highly interdependent critical infrastructures. The electrical energy required for pumping in WSSs and cooling water required for power plants in EPSs are ...

Abstract: Alluvial fans along mountain bases pose quite interesting problems for the design of hydraulic structures and highway crossings and for flood insurance studies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) alluvial-fan ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a general methodology for determination of the optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries to balance freshwater demands with the harvest of various types of estuarine ...
