Interbasin Water Transfer Capacity Design by Two Approaches of Simulation-Optimization and Multicriteria Decision Making
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Water resources management is a challenging problem in Iran and in many other locations because of the unbalanced temporal and spatial distribution of available water and demands. Interbasin water transfer, in which water ... -
Unsteady Flow Modeling of Pressure Real-Time Control in Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper investigates the potential of unsteady flow modelling for the simulation of remote real-time control (RTC) of pressure in water distribution networks. The developed model combines the unsteady flow simulation ... -
Opportunities and Challenges for Direct Potable Water Reuse in Arid Inland Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)With increasing population and development, communities worldwide face shortages of water for potable supply. A report has identified hot spots of likely conflict over water in the western United States by 2025; therefore, ... -

Development and Implementation of an Optimization Model for Hydropower and Total Dissolved Gas in the Mid-Columbia River System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Managing energy, water, and environmental priorities and constraints within a cascade hydropower system is a challenging multiobjective optimization effort that requires advanced modeling and forecasting tools. Within the ... -
Deriving Operating Rules of Pumped Water Storage Using Multiobjective Optimization: Case Study of the Han to Wei Interbasin Water Transfer Project, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Pumped water storage (PWS) is an advanced component of interbasin water transfer (IBWT) projects that plays a critical role in addressing streamflow variability. However, improper operating rules result in a large amount ... -
Broken-Line Model of Dam Storage and Evaluation of Water Supply Safety Using a Bivariate Frequency Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this study, a new evaluation method for the water supply safety of a dam is proposed. This method considers both climatic conditions and storage characteristics of a dam. The annual variation of dam storage is represented ... -
Battle of Water Networks DMAs: Multistage Design Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Looped water distribution system (WDS) repartitioning to district metering areas (DMAs) gained popularity as an effective technique to manage the system and detect and reduce system leakages. However, to apply this method ... -
