Optimizing Water Quality Treatment Levels for Water Distribution Systems under Mixing Uncertainty at Junctions
(ASCE, 2022-02-28)A real-life water distribution system (WDS) contains uncertainty in numerous stages. This makes the optimal management and design of a WDS a complex problem. Water quality has also become a significant factor in the design ... -
Impact of Penalty Policy on Farmers’ Overexploitation Based on Agent-Based Modeling Framework
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)One strategy to deal with unauthorized groundwater withdrawals by farmers is to impose penalties. Because farmers’ over-exploitation is subject to social, economic, cultural, and agricultural characteristics of the region, ... -
Leak Localization in Water Distribution Networks Using Data-Driven and Model-Based Approaches
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)The detection and localization of leaks in water distribution networks (WDNs) is one of the major concerns of water utilities, due to the necessity of an efficient operation that satisfies the worldwide growing demand for ... -
Potential Energy, Economic, and Environmental Impacts of Hydro Power Pressure Reduction on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus
(ASCE, 2022-02-25)The installation of hydropower pressure reduction (HPPR) technology in water supply networks (WSN) has recently been encouraged to limit water losses through leakage. Traditionally, pressure reducing valves (PRVs) were ... -
An Ensemble Neural Network Model to Forecast Drinking Water Consumption
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)A reliable short-term forecasting model is fundamental to managing a water distribution system properly. This study addresses the problem of the efficient development of a deep neural network model for short-term forecasting ... -

Estimating Efficient Water Prices in the Sao Marcos River Basin: A Residual Imputation Approach
(ASCE, 2022-02-21)The conflicting demands for water used for irrigating crops, generating power, and supplying humans and livestock have placed many river basins around the world under stress. The competition for scarce water resources will ... -
Optimal Operation Rules for Parallel Reservoir Systems with Distributed Water Demands
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)This paper addresses the doubts regarding the spatial characteristics of the commonly used rules for parallel reservoir system operation. The rules based on aggregation-decomposition determine the system total release first ... -
A Sequential Pressure-Based Algorithm for Data-Driven Leakage Identification and Model-Based Localization in Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 2022-03-30)Leakages in water distribution networks (WDNs) are estimated to globally cost 39 billion USD/year and cause water and revenue losses, infrastructure degradation, and other cascading effects. Their impacts can be prevented ... -
Incorporating Mid-Term Temperature Predictions into Streamflow Forecasts and Operational Reservoir Projections in the Colorado River Basin
(ASCE, 2022-02-09)Skillful mid-term temperature predictions (up to five years out) offer a potential opportunity for water managers, especially in the Colorado River Basin (CRB), where streamflows are sensitive to temperature. The purpose ... -
Accounting for Uncertainty in Regional Flow–Ecology Relationships
(ASCE, 2022-02-15)Flow–ecology relationships are critical for developing and adaptively managing environmental flows. However, uncertainty often arises from data limitations and an incomplete understanding of the spatial and temporal ... -
Retail Load Defection Impacts on a Major Electric Utility′s Exposure to Weather Risk
