Optimization-Based Methodology for Selection of Pump-as-Turbine in Water Distribution Networks: Effects of Different Objectives and Machine Operation Limits on Best Efficiency Point
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)In recent years, many researchers have recognized pressure reducing valves (PRVs) as potential microhydropower (MHP) sites, aiming to improve the efficiency of water networks. Pump-as-turbines (PATs) have been pointed out ... -
Accounting for Climate Change Uncertainty in Long-Term Dam Risk Management
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)This paper presents a practical approach to adaptive management of dam risk based on robust decision-making strategies coupled with estimation of climate scenario probabilities. The proposed methodology, called multi-prior ... -
Effect of Rainwater Harvesting on Residential Water Use: Empirical Case Study
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Rainwater harvesting (RWH) through household rainwater tanks has been increasingly recognized as a supplementary source of water in most urban cities. Previous studies indicated wide variations in annual water saving on ... -
Temporal Scale Effect Analysis for Water Supply Systems Monitoring Based on a Microcomponent Stochastic Demand Model
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Water demands are the main random factor that conditions flow variability within drinking water supply systems. The importance of using high-resolution demands in distribution mains is already well known, but there is ... -
Uncertain Water Balance-Based Sustainability Index of Supply and Demand
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)In order to plan for future water resource development, estimating sustainable levels of water supply and demand is essential to ensure that available water can be used in a way that satisfies all sectors. Different indices ... -
Estimating Agricultural Groundwater Withdrawals with Energy Data
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Agricultural water use is the leading cause of groundwater overdraft in California. However, agencies tasked with managing groundwater resources do not have access to accurate and reliable measurements of groundwater ... -
Dam-Impacted Water–Energy–Food Nexus in Lancang-Mekong River Basin
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Dams heavily impact the Lancang-Mekong River, leading to water-use conflicts for hydropower, food production, and ecosystem sustainment. Basin-scale cooperation has been shown to yield incremental benefits; however, ... -
Quantifying Hierarchical Indicators of Water Distribution Network Structure and Identifying Their Relationships with Surrogate Indicators of Hydraulic Performance
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Enhancing the performance of water distribution networks (WDNs) on a day-to-day basis or under extreme disturbances is an utmost priority for utilities. Previous research has characterized the structure of WDNs in the ... -
DMA Segmentation and Multiobjective Optimization for Trading Off Water Age, Excess Pressure, and Pump Operational Cost in Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)This study presents a heuristic multiobjective approach for segmenting and operating water distribution systems (WDS). The methodology employs a two-pronged strategy: the first is a heuristic method for dividing the network ... -
Performance Comparison of Equivalent Reservoir and Multireservoir Models in Forecasting Hydropower Potential for Linking Water and Power Systems
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)To link water and power systems on a regional scale, equivalent reservoir models—an aggregated representation of a multireservoir system—are commonly used because conventional river-basin scale optimization models become ... -
Preferences for Alternative Water Supplies in the Pacific Northwest: A Discrete Choice Experiment
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Understanding residential water preferences allows utility and municipal water managers to improve residents’ welfare through informed pricing and investment decisions. This paper employs a discrete choice experiment (DCE) ... -
Multiobjective Reservoir Optimization Considering Sedimentation Applied to the Three Gorges Reservoir
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Increasing the power generation and reducing the sediment deposition in a reservoir are two contradictory and incommensurable objectives. Hence, these two operational objectives rarely are considered simultaneously in ... -
Segment-Based Assessment of Consequences of Failure on Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)This paper presents an assessment methodology that considers the impact of actual valve locations in a water distribution system in creating discrete isolated groups of pipes or segments when evaluating the performance of ... -
Integrated Simulation-Optimization Framework for Water Allocation Based on Sustainability of Surface Water and Groundwater Resources
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The aim of this study is to develop a framework for the optimal conjunctive use of surface and groundwater in a case study of the Zayandehrud river basin in Iran. The basis of the framework is an integrated simulation-optimization ... -
Novel Comprehensive Approach for Phasing Design and Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Networks
