Abstract: Sampling design (SD) for water distribution systems (WDS) is an important issue, previously addressed by various researchers and practitioners. Generally, SD has one of several purposes. The aim of the methodologies developed ...

Abstract: Estimating model parameters is a difficult, yet critical step in the use of water distribution system models. Most of the optimization-based approaches developed so far concentrate primarily on efficient and effective ways ...

Abstract: Sampling design (SD) for water distribution systems (WDS) is undoubtedly an important issue, and has been addressed in the past by a number of scientists and practitioners. The aim of the SD methodology developed here is ...

Abstract: Two approaches to solving the problem of robust least-cost design of water distribution systems under uncertainty in input parameters are considered. The first approach (redundant design) is based on redundancy in design, ...
