Abstract: The Muskingum model is the most widely used method for flood routing in hydrologic engineering. However, the application of the model still suffers from a lack of an efficient method for parameter estimation. Particle swarm ...

Abstract: This work solves an optimal capacity-expansion planning problem with land subsidence constraints using a hybrid algorithm that combines the genetic algorithm (GA) and constrained differential dynamic programming (CDDP). ...

Abstract: Obtaining optimal solutions for groundwater resources planning problems, while simultaneously considering both fixed costs and time-varying pumping rates, is a challenging task. Application of conventional optimization ...

Abstract: Water deficits often occur during the drought season and may cause water conflicts among various water use sectors. The reservoir rule curve operation is commonly used to avoid extreme water shortage during droughts in ...

Abstract: Owing to the conflict encountered between the two objectives of fixed cost in reservoir installation and operating cost in time-varying water deficit, multiobjective planning of surface water resources is a difficult job. ...
