Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to analyze the reliability of a regional water distribution network. The proposed reliability analysis method focuses on the impact of link failures on source-demand connectivity, which ...

Abstract: Stochastic simulation is applied in a reliability analysis of a regional water distribution network. To complement the connectivity-based reliability analysis presented in the companion paper, the proposed stochastic ...

Abstract: A multiobjective optimization procedure using the constraint linear programming technique is developed to assist water resources planners to establish a more unified basin‐wide management plan which will simultaneously ...

Abstract: In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the development of fast network flow algorithms aiming at solving linear programming problems with network substructures. Recognizing the fact that the basic structure ...

Abstract: A water-supply-distribution-system planning model has been developed using a directed graph algorithm as its pre- and postprocessors and a linear programming (LP) procedure as an “intelligent” system operator at its core. ...

Abstract: Using a generalized network formulation, the nonlinear evaporation loss function of a reservoir is directly incorporated in a water-supply-optimization model. The nonlinear function is first piecewise-linearized and the ...
