Integrated Watershed Management Modeling: Generic Optimization Model Applied to the Ipswich River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A generic integrated watershed management optimization model was developed to efficiently screen a broad range of technical, economic, and policy management options within a watershed system framework and select the optimal ... -
Single-Objective versus Multiobjective Optimization of Water Distribution Systems Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Carbon Pricing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Previous research has demonstrated that there are significant trade-offs between the competing objectives of minimizing costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for water distribution system (WDS) optimization. However, ... -
Redefine Water Infrastructure Adaptation to a Nonstationary Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010) -
Applying Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm to Analyze the Conflict among Different Water Use Sectors during Drought Period
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Water deficits often occur during the drought season and may cause water conflicts among various water use sectors. The reservoir rule curve operation is commonly used to avoid extreme water shortage during droughts in ... -
Risk-Based Sensor Placement for Contaminant Detection in Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A method for optimizing sensor locations to effectively and efficiently detect contamination in a water distribution network is presented here. The problem is formulated and solved as a twin-objective optimization problem ... -
Multiobjective Evolutionary Approach to Rehabilitation of Urban Drainage Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Urban flooding has become a very important and growing issue around the world. In order to maintain an acceptable performance of urban drainage systems, early rehabilitation plans must be developed and implemented. The ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Transient Design for Water Supply Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Systematic transient analysis in water supply systems is intended to determine the reliability of water supply and the integrity of hydraulic devices when hydraulic transients (i.e., water hammers) occur. In the analysis, ... -
Design Robustness of Local Water-Recycling Schemes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The implementation of local water recycling and reuse practices is considered as a possible approach to managing issues of water scarcity. The sustainable design and implementation of a water recycle/reuse scheme has to ... -
Phosphorus Budget and Remediation Plan for Big Platte Lake, Michigan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper presents a phosphorus budget and modeling case study for Big Platte Lake Michigan and the Platte River watershed. These analyses are a necessary component of a credible total maximum daily load (TMDL) for Big ... -
Calibration and Optimization of the Pumping and Disinfection of a Real Water Supply System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Maintaining a disinfectant residual in water distribution systems (WDSs) is generally considered paramount to ensuring a safe drinking water supply. This objective can be assisted by the use of booster stations to increase ... -
Factors Affecting Participation in Spot and Options Markets for Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In this paper, using a stylized mathematical simulation model, the participation of farmers in spot and options markets is analyzed in a two-period setting. Farmers assess the benefits from entering one of the two markets ... -
Real-Time Optimal Valve Operation and Booster Disinfection for Water Quality in Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Historically, a water distribution system’s (WDS) hydraulic performance has been the primary operational concern. Over the past two decades, however, more attention has been paid to water quality behavior in WDS and today, ... -
Multiobjective Optimization for Water Distribution System Design Using a Hyperheuristic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Several modern multiobjective algorithms are compared with respect to the biobjective optimization of water distribution systems’ design, considering the objectives of cost minimization and reliability maximization. A new ... -
Backward Probabilistic Modeling to Identify Contaminant Sources in Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)If a chemical or biological agent is released into a water distribution system, sensors that are installed in the pipe network may detect the contamination as it travels through the system. To minimize the adverse impact ... -
Valuing Drinking Water Provision as an Ecosystem Service in the Neuse River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The valuation of ecosystem services such as drinking water provision is of growing national and international interest. The cost of drinking water provision is directly linked to the quality of its raw water input, which ... -
Scheduling Renewal of Water Pipes While Considering Adjacency of Infrastructure Works and Economies of Scale
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Much research effort has been dedicated to the development of optimal strategies for rehabilitation and/or replacement of water mains. Some of the methods are intended for high-level planning of groups or cohorts of pipes, ... -
Using a Distributed Hydrologic Model to Evaluate the Location of Urban Development and Flood Control Storage
