Uncertainty Quantification for a Middle East Water Supply System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper introduces a framework for incorporating uncertainty in water supply system models that uses Bayesian statistics and mixed-integer programming. The output of the framework includes the most probable least cost ... -
Cooperation in Transboundary Water Sharing with Issue Linkage: Game-Theoretical Case Study in the Volta Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper investigates issue linkage of water and energy in transboundary water sharing agreements and evaluates how such issue linkages can enhance the scope of cooperation between upstream and downstream countries. In ... -
Framework for Anticipatory Water Management: Testing for Flood Control in the Rijnland Storage Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Anticipatory water management uses weather forecasts and water system simulation models to take operational water management actions before an event occurs. In this paper a framework consisting of the different steps and ... -
Discussion of “Case Studies of Leak Detection and Location in Water Pipe Systems by Inverse Transient Analysis” by Dídia Covas and Helena Ramos
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013) -
Short-Term Real-Time Reservoir Operation for Irrigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The development and management of irrigation facilities has been recognized as the key to national development in India. Despite their high priority and massive investments, the performance of major irrigation projects has ... -
Optimal Watershed Management for Reservoir Sustainability: Economic Appraisal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Accumulation of sediment from upstream agricultural land may shorten the lifetime of a reservoir and reduce its long-term benefits. This paper presents a framework for assessment of management strategies that simultaneously ... -
Estimating the Impacts of Climate Change and Population Growth on Flood Discharges in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This study reflects a portion of the riverine analysis for a Federal Emergency Management Agency initiative to estimate the economic risks associated with climate and land use change to the U.S. National Flood Insurance ... -
Economic Analysis of Leakage in the Bangkok Water Distribution System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Loss of water caused by leakage is a common phenomenon observed in all water distribution systems (WDSs). The volume of leakage around the world is considerably high, and its control is crucial to meet the increasing water ... -
Scenario-Based Robust Optimization of Regional Water and Wastewater Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Uncertainties facing water planners and designers include changes in demand resulting from community growth (temporal and spatial), per capita water use, public perceptions, and regulations. One of the most powerful and ... -
Water Management Decisions Using Multiple Hydrologic Models within the San Juan River Basin under Changing Climate Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A modified version of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) long-term planning model, Colorado River Simulation System (CRSS), is used to evaluate whether hydrologic model choice has an impact on critical decision ... -
Temperature and Precipitation Trends in Lebanon’s Largest River: The Litani Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This study deals with the historical hydro-climatological watershed characteristics of the Litani basin located in Lebanon, east of the Mediterranean Sea, during 1900–2008. The basin is divided into two distinct sub-basins. ... -
Fast Hybrid Optimization Method for Effective Pump Scheduling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The cost of electricity used for pumping in water-distribution systems typically represents the largest part of the total operational costs. Therefore, optimization of pump operations is a major concern for water utilities ... -
Multivariate Trajectory Clustering for False Positive Reduction in Online Event Detection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Online monitoring of multivariate water quality data is becoming a practical means of improving distribution network management and meeting water security goals. Changes in water quality are often due to changes in the ... -
Extension of Parametric Rule with the Hedging Rule for Managing Multireservoir System during Droughts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In contrast to most common methods used in optimal control of reservoir systems requiring a large number of decision variables, parametric rule can make a radical reduction in the number of decision variables without ... -
Exploring the Water-Thermoelectric Power Nexus
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)In 2005, thermoelectric power accounted for 41% of all freshwater withdrawals and roughly 3% of all consumptive use in the United States. With the demand for electricity projected to increase by 24% by 2035 concerns have ... -
Principal Factor Analysis for Forecasting Diurnal Water-Demand Pattern Using Combined Rough-Set and Fuzzy-Clustering Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The true principal factors for the diurnal water-demand pattern of urban water are often difficult to identify using traditional rough-set algorithms because the demand pattern is usually affected by many factors that are ... -
