Optimal Pipe Network Sensor Layout Design for Hydraulic Transient Event Detection and Localization
(ASCE, 2022/05/31)Excessive hydraulic transients in a water distribution system (WDS) can instantaneously damage equipment and infrastructure, while long-term pressure oscillations can contribute to pipe structural deterioration and eventually ... -
Assessing the Value of a Regional Climate Model’s Rainfall Forecasts in Improving Dry-Season Streamflow Predictions
(ASCE, 2022-04-06)Rainfall is a critical input variable of statistical streamflow forecasting models at subseasonal to seasonal time scales. This study presents a framework for evaluating the utility of a high-resolution experimental winter ... -
Optimal Placement of New Isolation Valves in a Water Distribution Network Considering Existing Valves
(ASCE, 2022-04-13)There are often planned (for example, regular maintenance) and unplanned (for example, pipe bursts) interruptions in a water distribution network (WDN). Therefore, part of the isolation valves must be closed to isolate the ... -
Identifying Functional Flow Regimes and Fish Response for Multiple Reservoir Operating Solutions
(ASCE, 2022-03-30)Flow regulation through dams increases water and energy security for society but also threatens the natural equilibrium of river basins, leaving ecosystems and communities more vulnerable. While recovering flow regime ... -
Diagnosis of Water Distribution Systems through Transient Tests: The Pilot Study of Milan
(ASCE, 2022-04-05)This paper presents the results of a pilot study funded by Metropolitana Milanese to investigate the use of transient tests for the diagnosis of the water distribution network of Milan (Italy). The peculiar aspects of the ... -
A Comprehensive Review of the Nexus of Food, Energy, and Water Systems: What the Models Tell Us
(ASCE, 2022-04-12)The world faces mounting challenges related to food, energy, and water security. Modeling approaches have emerged in the last decade to address this problem with mixed outcomes across a range of boundaries, including local, ... -
Distributional Implications of Supply Constraints in Water Markets
(ASCE, 2022-04-20)In California, after three decades of water market development, volume of water traded in the market remains lower than desired. Total volume of water traded annually accounts for just around 2%–5% of total water used. ... -
Examining the Longitudinal Dispersion of Solutes Inside Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 2022-03-21)Accurate interpretation of longitudinal dispersion of solutes within distribution pipes increases the reliability of the predictions of water distribution systems (WDS) water quality analysis models. However, the estimation ... -
Modeling in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Overcoming the Water Sector’s Data Struggles to Realize the Potential of Hydraulic Models
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)Hydraulic models can provide efficient and cost-effective ways for water utilities to evaluate changes in operating conditions (e.g., population dynamics, disasters), thereby increasing system resiliency during crises. ... -
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Water Utility Operations and Vulnerability
(ASCE, 2022-03-31)The COVID-19 pandemic affected the operation of water utilities across the world. In the context of utilities, new protocols were needed to ensure that employees can work safely, and that water service is not interrupted. ... -
Multiple Leakage Detection and Isolation in District Metering Areas Using a Multistage Approach
(ASCE, 2022-03-21)Hydraulic accidents or abnormal situations, also known as leakages, cause not only water losses but also service interruptions and other negative effects. To facilitate the rapid response of water utilities and reduce water ... -
