Quantitatively Incorporating Social Equity in Water Network Maintenance and Rehabilitation Decision-Making
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Water infrastructures are critical assets that ensure communities served by them have access to clean and reliable water. Because the cost of creating a water infrastructure is relatively high and the service life of ... -
Evaluating Aquifer Management Objectives against Socioeconomic Indicators to Understand Differential Impacts on Communities across Multiple Scales
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Urban groundwater supply planning is often achieved at the regional scale while the effects of aquifer exploitation are experienced on a local scale. In the Mexico City metropolitan area, land and water use changes have ... -
Simulation of Intermittent Water Distribution Networks by EPA-SWMM: Comparing Model Results and Field Experiments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In this paper, the EPA storm water management model (EPA-SWMM) was used for the simulation of intermittent water distribution systems (WDSs). The model was compared with field data collected during an experimental campaign ... -
Climate-Resilient Sanitary Sewers through Minimized Inflow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Expanding sanitary sewer networks is vital for meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for urban areas. Uncertain future design conditions threaten this infrastructure expansion; notably, climate change has been ... -
Multiagent Robust Decision-Making for Sustainable Stormwater Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Sustainable urban stormwater management presents challenges due to uncertainties and conflicting stakeholder preferences. In this regard, our research introduces a comprehensive framework that integrates self-organization ... -
Inferring Demand in Drinking Water Distribution Systems through Stratified Sampling of Billing Data for Smart Meter Installation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The importance of urban water supply systems and public services is globally recognized. Nonrevenue water directly affects a water utility’s economic, financial, and environmental sustainability. In Portugal, the mean of ... -
Multiobjective Approach for Water Distribution Network Design Combining Pipe Sizing and Isolation Valve Placement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This paper presents a novel methodology for the coupled optimization of water distribution network (WDN) pipe sizing and isolation valve placement. The methodology is based on the effective application of biobjective genetic ... -
Hydroeconomic Optimization and Reoperation of Folsom Reservoir for Flood-Managed Aquifer Recharge Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The increasing occurrence of prolonged droughts and extreme wet events in California poses significant challenges to the management of the region’s water resources. To address these challenges, the utilization of Flood-Managed ... -
Exploring Equity Challenges within Deeply Uncertain Water Supply Investment Pathways in the Federal District of Brazil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Cities in South America face many of the urban water supply challenges experienced globally including increasingly extreme future hydroclimatic conditions and rapid population growth. These challenges are further exacerbated ... -
Evaluation of Multipurpose Reservoir Operating Policies at Basin and Electric Power System Scales
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Climatic phenomena, particularly hydrological droughts, have led to significant changes in reservoir operation strategies. Multipurpose reservoir operations are essential for effectively managing stored water resources for ... -
Quantifying the Impact of Future Climate Change on Flood Susceptibility: An Integration of CMIP6 Models, Machine Learning, and Remote Sensing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In recent years, the frequency of floods has escalated due to global warming and human activities. Addressing this challenge, our study investigates how future climate change scenarios will affect flood susceptibility in ... -
Impact of Youth Education on Green Stormwater Infrastructure Recommendations to Increase Equity and Resilience in Marginalized Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Marginalized communities disproportionately experience the impacts of climate change, including more intense flooding and longer recovery times from disasters. Youth, particularly those belonging to marginalized communities, ... -
Evaluating Statewide Wastewater Affordability for Users of Sewer Systems and Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Based on Household Incomes at the Census Tract Level
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Wastewater affordability is a pressing concern in the US as the cost of collecting and treating wastewater continues to rise rapidly, and reports have revealed that millions of residents are experiencing a lack of equitable ... -
Identifying Conditions that Support the Provision of High-Quality and Affordable Urban Drinking Water in the US
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Urban drinking water systems in the US face diverse challenges and stressors, threatening their ability to reliably provide safe, affordable drinking water. To effectively address these challenges, utilities must understand ... -
Economic Optimization of Flood Bypass Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Flood bypasses are used in regional flood management to reduce flood risk and damage by routing substantial flood flows to a supplementary river channel to lower flood stages in the usual river mainstem. Design, operations, ... -
Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition for Leak Detection in a Water Distribution Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Leaks are a constant problem in water distribution systems, resulting in wasted resources, environmental impacts, and financial losses. Thus, it is crucial to develop effective and agile methods to detect network leaks. ... -
