Abstract: This is the first of two papers dealing with schematic models for water distribution systems. Schematic models for use in preliminary design of water distribution systems are developed by two approaches: (1) A step‐wise ...

Abstract: This is the second of two papers dealing with the development and use of schematic models for water distribution systems. The first paper covered methods for step‐wise combination of elements into equivalent ones. Herein, ...

Abstract: A model is developed for optimal operation of a multiquality water‐supply system, under steady‐state conditions. The system contains: sources of different qualities, treatment facilities, pipes, and pumping stations. The ...

Abstract: A methodology which integrates the optimal design and reliability of a multiquality water-supply system is presented and demonstrated. The system designed is able to sustain prescribed failure scenarios, such as any single ...

Abstract: The Hula Decision Support System (HDSS) is designed to aid Hula site operators in managing groundwater levels in the Hula Lake region of Israel. Groundwater levels are managed by controlling water levels by using adjustable ...

Abstract: A model is developed for optimal operation of a multiquality water‐supply network under unsteady conditions, for a time horizon that is divided into a number of time periods. The objective is to minimize total cost, which ...

Abstract: Simulation experiments were conducted with the negotiation support system (NSS) presented by Kronaveter and Shamir to evaluate its efficacy in improving the negotiation process, and in getting to an agreed cooperative ...

Abstract: The negotiation support system (NSS) proposed in this paper is designed to aid two parties in their negotiations for allocation of water from a shared water resource. The NSS has several components which are activated in ...

Abstract: A method for near-optimal real-time on-line operation of urban water distribution system is presented and demonstrated. It uses a reduced model (RM) of the network which reproduces its performance over time with high ...

Abstract: Hourly water‐demand data is forecasted with a model based on a combination of pattern recognition and time‐series analysis. Three repeating segments are observed in the daily demand pattern: “rising,” “oscillating,” ...
