Abstract: With the availability of real-time monitoring data, leakage detection for water distribution networks (WDNs) based on data-driven methods has received increasing attention in recent years. Accurate forecasts based on ...

Abstract: The scarcity of water resources is the driving force behind modernizing irrigation systems in order to guarantee equal rights to all beneficiaries and to save water. Traditional distribution systems have the common shortcoming ...

Abstract: In South Asia, Latin America, and Africa, approximately 1.3 billion people intermittently receive water for domestic use through piped networks, known as intermittent water supply (IWS). IWS poses high operation costs ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology to decompose water distribution systems (WDSs) into a twin-hierarchy pipeline structure consisting of backbone mains and community feeders. The method has three steps: (1) clustering ...

Abstract: Optimal rehabilitation of large water distribution systems (WDSs) with many decision variables is often time consuming and computationally expensive. This paper presents a new optimal rehabilitation methodology for WDSs ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the application of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms to the identification of the payoff characteristic between total cost and reliability of a water distribution system using the well-known ...

Abstract: When designing a water distribution system (WDS), it is imperative that the reliability of the network is taken into consideration. It is possible to directly evaluate the reliability of a WDS, although the calculation ...

Abstract: The pressure-discharge relation used in continuity equations is one of the most important components of hydraulic models based on head-driven simulation method, as it has a great impact on the accuracy of the results of ...
