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 reliability‐based optimization model for water‐distribution systems has been developed. The model is aimed at the following goals: (1) Design of the pipe network including the number, location, and size of pumps and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the basic framework for a model that can be used to determine the optimal (least‐cost) design of a water distribution system subject to continuity, conservation of energy, nodal head bounds, and reliability ...

Abstract: A chance constrained model is presented for the minimum cost design of water distribution networks. This methodology attempts to account for the uncertainties in required demands, required pressure heads, and pipe roughness ...
