Abstract: Pumping stations used in water distribution networks (WDNs) consume a significant portion of the energy required to deliver municipal drinking water. Smart management strategies such as optimal pump scheduling (OPS) have ...

Abstract: Sediment delivery to reservoirs causes a reduction in storage capacity, leading to emergency water conditions and difficulties in managing water resources and dams, especially on dry land. This paper presents a methodology ...

Abstract: The numerical modeling of hyperconcentrated shallow flows is a challenging task because they exhibit special features, such as propagation over dry beds, profound bed elevation modifications owing to erosion or deposition ...

Abstract: The discharges flowing through rural drainage networks depend not only on the local climatic and hydrologic characteristics, but also on the geometric characteristics of the channels constituting the network. For this ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel procedure is presented and demonstrated for the optimal design of rural drainage networks, based on the coupling of a genetic algorithm with suitable hydrologic and hydraulic models. The models, which ...

Abstract: In hydraulic engineering, it is common to find geometric transitions where a channel is not prismatic. Among these geometric transitions, constrictions and obstructions are channel reaches in which a cross-section contraction ...
