Joint Water Quantity-Quality Management in a Biofuel Production Area—Integrated Economic-Hydrologic Modeling Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Water management in the Pirapama River Basin in northeastern Brazil is affected by both water quantity and water quality constraints. The region is known for significant sugarcane-based ethanol production—which is the key ... -
Real-Time Identification of Possible Contamination Sources Using Network Backtracking Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In case of contamination intrusion in water distribution systems, water quality sensor data can be used to determine the location and time of the contamination source. One approach to contamination source identification ... -
Filtering Bad Measurement Data for Water Distribution System Demand Estimation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Demand estimation has been solved by using a weighted least-squares (WLS) estimator incorporating field measurements with system simulation model. WLS estimator results are sensitive to spurious measurements caused by ... -
Residential Water Demand under Alternative Rate Structures: Simulation Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Econometricians have long studied the effect of price on residential water demand and the impact on water use of the rate (tariff) structure in which price signals are embedded. This paper applies an existing deductive ... -
Optimal Operation of Complex Water Distribution Systems Using Metamodels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Optimization of large and hydraulically complex water distribution systems (WDSs) is computationally expensive as simulation models are required to evaluate the performance of solutions to the problem at hand. Metamodels ... -
State of the Art for Genetic Algorithms and Beyond in Water Resources Planning and Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)During the last two decades, the water resources planning and management profession has seen a dramatic increase in the development and application of various types of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). This observation is ... -

Bayesian Method for Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)A new methodology is developed to analyze existing monitoring networks. This methodology incorporates different aspects of monitoring, including vulnerability/probability assessment, environmental health risk, the value ... -
Optimal Scheduling of Replacement and Rehabilitation in Wastewater Pipeline Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)To fulfill the objective of providing acceptable level of service to customers, the water managers have to plan how to operate, maintain, and rehabilitate the system under budget constraints. The model presented in this ... -
Enhanced Estimation of Terrestrial Loadings for TMDLs: Normalization Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The effective implementation of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) usually requires that relationships between terrestrial contaminant loadings and instream concentrations be estimated using deterministic fate and transport ... -
Simulation-Optimization Framework to Support Sustainable Watershed Development by Mimicking the Predevelopment Flow Regime
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The modification of land and water resources for human use alters the natural hydrologic flow regime of a downstream receiving body of water. The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium ... -
Modeling Conjunctive Use Operations and Farm Decisions with Two-Stage Stochastic Quadratic Programming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper applies two-stage stochastic quadratic programming to optimize conjunctive use operations of groundwater pumping and artificial recharge with farmer’s expected revenue and cropping decisions. The two-stage ... -
Impacts and Uncertainty of Climate Change on Water Resource Management of the Peribonka River System (Canada)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The impacts of climate change on medium-term reservoir operations for the Peribonka water resource system (Quebec, Canada) were evaluated with annual and seasonal hydropower production indicators and flood control criteria. ... -
Optimal Pump and Recharge Management Model for Nitrate Removal in the Warren Groundwater Basin, California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The town of Yucca Valley located in the southwest part of the Mojave Desert in southern California relies on groundwater pumping from the Warren groundwater basin as its sole source of water supply. This significant ... -

Building Damage due to Riverine and Coastal Floods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Floods in both riverine and coastal zones can cause significant damage to infrastructure, including possible structural failure of buildings. Methodologies commonly used to estimate flood damage to buildings are typically ... -
Robust Design of Water Distribution Networks for a Proactive Risk Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In the last three decades the optimal design of water distribution systems problem has been studied by a great many researchers, and this has resulted in the development of a large number of models and the application of ... -
Optimal Meter Placement for Water Distribution System State Estimation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Real-time state estimates (SEs) of nodal demands in a water distribution system (WDS) can be developed using data from a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. These estimates provide information for ...
