Energy Metrics for Water Distribution System Assessment: Case Study of the Toronto Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Descriptive energy metrics, calculated for each component, represent how the hydraulic state of a network evolves and how energy flows vary temporally and spatially. More specifically, these metrics describe how the energy ... -
Fast Graph Matrix Partitioning Algorithm for Solving the Water Distribution System Equations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this paper a method that determines the steady-state hydraulics of a water distribution system, the graph matrix partitioning algorithm (GMPA), is presented. This method extends the technique of separating the linear ... -
Performance Index for Water Distribution Networks under Multiple Loading Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Previous studies have naturally related water distribution network performance to the ability to deliver sufficient pressure and flow. The present paper emphasizes that performance also depends on the efficiency of delivering ... -
Importance of Free-Flowing Rivers for Recreation: Case Study of the River Mur in Styria, Austria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Hydroelectric power plants are often assumed to serve a wide range of purposes, from renewable electricity production to flood control and new recreational opportunities. Planning documents and strategies often presume ... -
Estimated Loss of Snowpack Storage in the Eastern Sierra Nevada with Climate Warming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The average loss of snowpack storage from a warmer versus current climate in the Owens River basin of the Eastern Sierra Nevada was estimated using 9 years of gridded, daily fractional snow-covered-area data from satellite, ... -
Optimal Monthly Reservoir Operation Rules for Hydropower Generation Derived with SVR-NSGAII
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A novel tool is proposed that couples the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGAII) with support vector regression (SVR) and nonlinear programming (NLP) to optimize monthly operation rules for hydropower generation. ... -
Biogeography-Based Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Operation of Reservoir Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The optimal operation of reservoir systems to meet water demand is a complex and nonlinear problem. This paper applies the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm to solve reservoir operation problems. The BBO ... -
Optimizing Multidam Releases in Large River Basins by Combining Distributed Hydrological Inflow Predictions with Rolling-Horizon Decision Making
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)For the purpose of real-time dam operation in large river basins, an integrated simulation and optimization system (ISOS) has been constructed by combining distributed hydrological inflow predictions with rolling horizon ... -
Seasonal Hydroclimatic Forecasts as Innovations and the Challenges of Adoption by Water Managers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Technological advances in forecasting the Earth’s climate offer a potentially useful tool to support planning and management decisions in water resources. Previous research has found that the implementation of new ideas ... -
Evaluation of Climatic-Change Impacts on Multiobjective Reservoir Operation with Multiobjective Genetic Programming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Multiobjective genetic programming is used to calculate optimal reservoir-operating rules under baseline and climatic-change conditions. The rules are calculated based on river inflows to the Aidoghmoush Reservoir (located ... -

Agronomic and Stream Nitrate Load Responses to Incentives for Bioenergy Crop Cultivation and Reductions of Carbon Emissions and Fertilizer Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Excessive nitrate loads in surface waters are a major cause of hypoxia and eutrophication. In many places, agriculture is the single largest source of nitrogen entering receiving waters. Perennial energy grass crops have ... -
