Abstract: In a multisource, multiquality regional water distribution system, water agencies often find that it is necessary to impose blending requirements at certain control points in the system in order to secure the desired water ...

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: 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 ...

Abstract: A methodology is developed for the design of an automatic gate controller for an on-demand canal system. The design is based on the EL-FLO plus RESET control concept developed previously by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. ...

Abstract: A practical monthly optimization model, called SISOPT, is developed for the management and operations of the Brazilian hydropower system. The system, one of the largest in the world, consists of 75 hydropower plants with ...
