Abstract: This case study uses a long short-term memory (LSTM)–based model to predict short-term urban water demands for the Hefei City of China. The performance of the LSTM-based model is compared with the autoregressive integrated ...

Abstract: Urban water distribution systems (WDSs) are often skeletonized to enable efficient system analysis and management. While different methods are available to account for transient dynamics within the skeletonization processes, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new method for identifying leakage zones of water distribution systems. A large water network is first divided into a number of zones. The zone number is used as the category label of the multiclass ...

Abstract: Improving the resilience of water distribution systems (WDSs) to handle natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes) is a critical step toward sustainable urban water management. This requires the water utility to be able ...

Abstract: Many skeletonization methods are available to simplify the configuration of urban water distribution systems (WDS) to enable hydraulic modeling and analysis. However, these approaches are generally based on steady-state ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of the Battle of Postdisaster Response and Restoration (BPDRR) presented in a special session at the first International water distribution systems analysis & computing and control in the ...
