Abstract: Two empirical precipitation disaggregation models are developed for use in continuous hydrologic modeling. The first model is developed for use in disaggregating hourly rainfall data into 20‐min intervals. The second model ...

Abstract: An implicit mathematical model is developed for use in calibrating hydraulic network models. The calibration model uses a nonlinear optimization algorithm along with a general network solver to adjust selected model ...

Abstract: A general methodology is presented for use in the design of water distribution networks. The proposed approach is conceptually useful for certain applications. The approach is based on recasting the basic set of hydraulic ...

Abstract: In order to improve the reliability of hydraulic network models as well as eliminate the need for trial‐and‐error calibration methods, an explicit calibration algorithm is proposed. The calibration algorithm is formulated ...

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: A nonlinear heuristic is developed for use in obtaining least-cost pump-operation policies for multisource, multitank water-distribution systems. The proposed algorithm links a minimum-cost-constraint identification ...

Abstract: A general planning methodology has been developed for use in the planning of dual‐purpose detention basins. The methodology employs continuous simulation, statistical analysis, and a general design heuristic to obtain an ...

Abstract: Stormwater detention basins are increasingly being used to control both urban flooding and nonpoint urban pollution. In order to design such systems effectively some type of design algorithm is needed. Two different dynamic ...
