Stochastic Approach for the Analysis of Demand Induced Transients in Real Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 2021-10-30)A stochastic approach for modeling and analysing the transients due to the users’ water consumptions in a real water distribution system is presented. The analysis is based on field measurements of water consumption at ... -
A Heuristic for Strategic Valve Placement
(ASCE, 2021-12-13)An iterative heuristic is proposed to improve the distribution of isolation valves within an existing water distribution network to decrease the magnitude of service interruptions while using the minimum number of valves ... -
Exploring Symmetry in a Short-Term Hydro Scheduling Problem: The Case of the Santo Antônio Hydro Plant
(ASCE, 2021-11-13)The Santo Antônio is the fifth largest hydro plant in Brazil. Due to the environmental constraints, the plant follows a run-of-river operation and, to handle inflow variability, possesses the 50 most oversized bulb generating ... -
Discharging Sediment Downstream: Case Studies in Cost Effective, Environmentally Acceptable Reservoir Sediment Management in the United States
(ASCE, 2021-11-25)Sediment accumulation in reservoirs across the world diminishes reservoir benefits, increases maintenance costs, and damages the environment. United States regulatory policy requires State and Federal permits for discharging ... -
Bias Correction of Hydrologic Projections Strongly Impacts Inferred Climate Vulnerabilities in Institutionally Complex Water Systems
(ASCE, 2021-11-08)Water-resources planners use regional water management models (WMMs) to identify vulnerabilities to climate change. Frequently, dynamically downscaled climate inputs are used in conjunction with land-surface models (LSMs) ... -
A Strategy to Assess Water Meter Performance
(ASCE, 2021-11-18)Apparent water losses can be problematic to water companies’ revenues. This type of loss is very difficult to detect and quantify and is often associated with water meter anomalies. This study was motivated by a water ... -
Cost-Efficient Algorithms for a Pump Horizon Control in Water Supply System
(ASCE, 2021-10-22)Modern cities have water supply systems (WSS) that reliably meet the water demand of every individual household. If inefficiently managed, these energy-consuming systems can become very costly. To produce the most ... -
Cumulative Impacts of Water Abstraction on a Recreational Salmon Fishery on the Rangitata River, New Zealand
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)This study investigates factors contributing to the unexpected loss of a recreational Chinook salmon fishery in a reach of the Rangitata River in Canterbury, New Zealand. The Rangitata is one of only 14 rivers nationwide ... -
An Interior Point Method Applied to Flow Constraints in a Pressure-Dependent Water Distribution System
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)This paper used the fusion of an active-set method (ASM) and an interior point method (IPM), with a Newton method, to solve for the steady-state flows, heads, and outflows of a pressure-dependent water distribution system. ... -
Prediction of Global Efficiency and Economic Viability of Replacing PRVs with Hydraulically Regulated Pump-as-Turbines at Instrumented Sites within Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)Pressure management in water supply pipe networks using conventional pressure reducing valves (PRVs) results in the dissipated energy being lost. In pursuit of more energy efficient solutions in the sector, researchers are ... -
A Hydroeconomic Simulation-Optimization Framework to Assess the Cooperative Game Theory in Coastal Groundwater Management
(ASCE, 2021-10-27)In this study, a cooperative game theory framework is proposed to investigate how the cooperation of groundwater consumers influences the reduction in environmental damages and benefit the stakeholders in coastal regions. ... -
Performance Monitoring and Sustainable Management of Piped Water Supply Infrastructure in Developing Communities
(ASCE, 2021-12-08)The sustainable management of water infrastructure in low-income communities is a development objective that cuts across several global development goals, including poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability. The ... -
Markov Chain–Based Inspection and Maintenance Model for Stormwater Pipes
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Inspection and maintenance (M&R) of a buried network of stormwater drainage pipes is a challenging task for asset engineers due to a large number of pipes and restricted access. A Markov-based inspection model with a ... -
Optimized DMA Partition to Reduce Background Leakage Rate in Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)In recent years, pressure management based on district metering areas (DMAs) has played an irreplaceable role in background leakage reduction in water distribution networks (WDNs). To further improve DMA management, this ... -
Service-Driven Modeling Approach to Managing Water Allocation in Priority Doctrine Regions
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This work focuses on developing methods to better manage significant imbalances between water supply and demand during droughts. A service-driven approach (Model as a Service, or MaaS) is used to couple river modeling ... -
