Logic-Based Design of Groundwater Monitoring Network for Redundancy Reduction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A methodology is developed based on an optimization model solution for optimal design of groundwater quality monitoring network. Redundancy in monitoring network results in economic and overall inefficiency of the network. ... -
Frequency Methodology for Evaluating Urban and Highway Storm-Water Quality Control Infiltration BMPs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Time domain continuous simulation models using simple or detailed process models are routinely used to analyze storm-water control options. The interest in decentralized controls has generated the need to develop tools ... -
Extreme Impact Contamination Events Sampling for Water Distribution Systems Security
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In recent years, drinking water distribution systems security has become a major concern. To protect public health and minimize the effected community by a contaminant intrusion, water quality needs to be continuously ... -
Evaluating Watershed Management within a River Basin Context Using an Integrated Indicator System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Factor analysis is used to develop an integrated indicator system that evaluates the state of watersheds from three perspectives (subindexes): water-use management, flood management, and environment and ecosystem management. ... -
Neutral Search Technique for Short-Term Pump Schedule Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper deals with the computation of short-term (typically -
RTC of Valves for Leakage Reduction in Water Supply Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper reports the results of a numerical investigation aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the real-time control (RTC) of valves in reducing leakage in water supply networks. The investigation was carried out ... -
Large-Scale Nonlinear Conjunctive Use Optimization Problem: Decomposition Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A cyclic storage (CS) system is defined as physically-integrated and operationally interconnected surface water and groundwater subsystems with full direct interactions between the subsystems. The proposed definition treats ... -
Pressure-Dependent Leak Detection Model and Its Application to a District Water System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Cost-effective reduction of water loss is a compelling but challenging task for water utilities. This paper presents a model-based optimization method for leakage detection of water distribution systems. Leakage hotspots ... -
Design of Pumped Water Distribution Networks with Storage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The paper presents a method for the design of water distribution networks with various network elements such as pipes, pumps, and tanks. A steady-state genetic algorithm is used to solve the proposed single objective model. ... -
Multiobjective Optimization of Operational Responses for Contaminant Flushing in Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Contamination emergency in water distribution systems is a complex situation where optimal operation becomes important for public health. In case of emergency corrective operational actions for flushing the pollutant out ... -
Valuation of Flood Reductions in the Yellow River Basin under Land Use Change
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)An economic valuation of flood reductions arising from land use changes induced by the Conversion of Cropland to Forest and Grassland Program (CCFGP) in China is detailed in this paper. A distributed hydrologic model is ... -
Water Use Intensities and the Composition of Production in Canada
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The Government of Canada has endorsed a policy to promote water conservation in an attempt to reduce environmental impacts of water use. Nonetheless, total water intake, consumption, and gross water use in the business ... -
Risk-Based TMDLs in Pathogen-Impaired Waters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)A risk-management approach is proposed for estimating total maximum daily load (TMDL) load reductions in pathogen-impaired streams. The approach is based on reducing the observed -
Economic Impacts of Alternative Approaches to Storm-Water Management and Land Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)This paper explores how estimated construction costs and projected revenue from sales could influence the decision to maintain open spaces in predevelopment condition and to implement a decentralized swale-based storm-water ... -
Booster Disinfection for Response to Contamination in a Drinking Water Distribution System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Booster disinfection has been shown to be an effective means of maintaining more stable chlorine residuals in a water distribution system. It has been suggested that booster disinfection could also be a viable means of ... -
Fuzzy-Logic Modeling of Risk Assessment for a Small Drinking-Water Supply System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)A set of risk factors and a fault tree methodology in conjunction with fuzzy logic is described to assess potential contributing factors to failures in water supply systems. The fault tree methodology establishes the ... -
Predicting Structural Deterioration Condition of Individual Storm-Water Pipes Using Probabilistic Neural Networks and Multiple Logistic Regression Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)After several decades in service, the deterioration of storm-water pipe assets is inevitable. The deterioration of storm-water pipes is characterized by structural deterioration and hydraulic deterioration. Condition ... -
