Abstract: Water Infrastructures play an important role in serving societies, and ensuring the proper performance of these facilities has received great attention recently. Growing hydrometeorological hazards, including coastal ...

Abstract: AbstractTimely isolation of burst locations in water transmission systems is critical for mitigating extensive water loss (WL) and minimizing disruptions in water supply. However, delays in postfailure action time such as ...

Abstract: AbstractEffective monitoring of water distribution networks (WDNs) is critical for ensuring operational efficiency and timely maintenance, particularly given their scale and complexity. This study introduces a graph-theoretic ...

Abstract: AbstractFailures in water transmission lines (WTLs) can cause severe disruptions, high repair costs, and extensive damage to surrounding areas. The interest in proactive management through predictive methods as a way to ...

Abstract: Optimal operation of a large water distribution system (WDS) has always been a tedious task, especially when combined with determination of district metered areas (DMAs). This paper presents a novel framework based on graph ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study presents the development of a surrogate model for evaluating the mechanical behavior of buried polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, widely used in the water industry for conveying drinking water under pressure ...
