Abstract: Dramatic changes are under way in the civil engineering workplace. They are the result of society's development, the rapid growth of scientific and technological knowledge, and the increasing complexity of physical systems, ...

Abstract: During the past three decades, the application of the systems approach to reservoir management and operations has been established as one of the most important advances made in the field of water resources engineering. A ...

Abstract: Subdaily precipitation gauging stations are limited and unevenly distributed across Canada. To support the design of sustainable stormwater infrastructure, especially in the data-sparse regions of Canada, this study presents ...

Abstract: Food-energy-water (FEW) nexus research emphasizes the links among food, energy, and water resource systems and is introduced as an attempt to overcome independent single-sector approaches that dominate the governing of ...

Abstract: A sensitivity analysis of model forecasts provided possible insight into development of a hybrid technique to improve forecast quality using engineering knowledge and experience. A rule‐based decision support system (DSS) ...

Abstract: This paper deals with minimizing the total cost of pumping in a liquid pipeline. Previous experience with the most common solution procedures in pipeline optimization is discussed along with their strengths and weaknesses. ...

Abstract: There exists a strong need to explore simulation techniques that not only represent complex dynamic systems in a realistic way but also allow the involvement of end users in model development to increase their confidence ...

Abstract: A new approach called spatial system dynamics (SSD) is presented to model feedback based dynamic processes in time and space. This approach is grounded in control theory for distributed parameter systems. System dynamics ...

Abstract: This study addresses how uncertainty propagates within climate models, statistical postprocessing tools, and the hydrological model, while taking into account the observed forcing and response of the hydrological system. ...
