Efficient Technique for Pipe Roughness Calibration and Sensor Placement for Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)The need to improve the accuracy of mathematical models describing hydraulic networks (e.g., water distribution systems) poses numerous challenges regarding the problems of parameter calibration and optimal sampling. ... -
Using Agent-Based Modeling for Water Resources Management in the Bakken Region
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Most agent-based model (ABM) applications in water resources management and planning relied on hypothetical systems for method testing and policy analysis. Although these ABM studies can help provide guidance for evaluating ... -
Performance Assessment of Water Distribution Systems Subject to Leakage and Temporal Variability of Water Demand
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)A water distribution system (WDS) is designed and managed to provide a reliable water supply, that is, to properly respond to water user demand, particularly in critical operating conditions such as in times of peak demand. ... -
Collaboratively Modeling Reservoir Reoperation to Adapt to Earlier Snowmelt Runoff
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Across many river basins in the arid Western United States, upstream surface water reservoirs store snowmelt runoff to meet downstream water demand. A collaborative modeling research program in the Truckee River Basin ... -
Burst Detection by Analyzing Shape Similarity of Time Series Subsequences in District Metering Areas
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)The paper proposes a burst detection method that relies on shape similarity analysis of time series subsequences (i.e., slices of time series). Subsequence libraries are constructed using flow (or water demand) data. ... -
Real-Time River Flood Control under Historical and Future Climatic Conditions: Flanders Case Study
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Model predictive control (MPC) has shown to be an efficient technique for real-time flood control. The evaluation of the control performance is, however, typically restricted to a limited set of flood events. In this paper, ... -
Water Distribution Network Reliability Assessment and Isolation Valve System
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Mechanical reliability analysis of water distribution networks (WDNs) refers to the assessment to provide correct service to customers under abnormal functioning conditions due to system component failures. Mechanical ... -
Bottom-Up Generation of Water Demands to Preserve Basic Statistics and Rank Cross-Correlations of Measured Time Series
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)This paper presents a novel methodology for the generation of demand time series at water distribution network (WDN) users. After subdividing the day into an integer number of time steps with order of magnitude of 1 h, ... -
Transboundary Groundwater Cooperation among Countries of the Arabian Peninsula
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Population growth, socioeonomic development, and climate change will add pressures on limited water resources, especially in the arid Arabian Peninsula countries, where overutilization of renewable and nonrenewable aquifers ... -
Leveraging Disparate Parcel-Level Data to Improve Classification and Analysis of Urban Nonresidential Water Demand
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)This study details a novel procedure for analyzing water demands in the nonresidential sector (i.e., commercial, industrial, and institutional users). Nonresidential customers are classified into “subsectors” based ... -
Sedimentation in Reservoirs: Evaluation of Return Periods Related to Operational Failures of Water Supply Reservoirs with Monte Carlo Simulation
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Sediment delivery to reservoirs causes a reduction in storage capacity, leading to emergency water conditions and difficulties in managing water resources and dams, especially on dry land. This paper presents a methodology ... -
Interval Analysis of the Loss of Life Caused by Dam Failure
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Both hydrodynamic factors and social factors have large impacts on the loss of life caused by dam failure. Relatively large uncertainty intervals of the influencing factors lead to changes in the potential loss of life. ... -
Merging Fluid Transient Waves and Artificial Neural Networks for Burst Detection and Identification in Pipelines
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The occurrence of bursts in water pipelines can not only prevent the system from functioning properly, but it can also produce significant water loss that disrupts activities in urban areas. Therefore, the detection and ... -
Urban Water Demand Modeling Using Machine Learning Techniques: Case Study of Fortaleza, Brazil
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Despite recent efforts to apply machine learning (ML) for water demand modeling, overcoming the black-box nature of these techniques to extract practical information remains a challenge, especially in developing countries. ... -
Expected Benefits of Laos’ Hydropower Development Curbed by Hydroclimatic Variability and Limited Transmission Capacity: Opportunities to Reform
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Massive investments in hydropower are transforming several river basins across the world—especially in developing countries, where hydroelectricity is often seen as a means to sustain economic growth. While the environmental ... -
