Multiobjective Optimal Waste Load Allocation Models for Rivers Using Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A multiobjective optimization framework for optimal waste load allocation in rivers is proposed, considering (1) the total treatment cost, (2) the equity among the waste dischargers, and (3) a comprehensive performance ... -
Watershed-Scale Impacts of Forest Buffers on Water Quality and Runoff in Urbanizing Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Forestry practices that are applied to buffer regions can be used as a strategy to improve water quality and flow regime in urbanizing watersheds. This study evaluates watershed-wide impacts of buffering urban forestry ... -
Solution for Water Distribution Systems under Pressure-Deficient Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)In recent years, many researchers have tried to predict the behavior of the water distribution systems under pressure-deficient conditions. The root of the problem is that under these conditions the traditional demand-driven ... -
The New Blue and Green Water Paradigm: Breaking New Ground for Water Resources Planning and Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006) -
Use of Satellite Data for Streamflow and Reservoir Storage Forecasts in the Snake River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)We describe an approach to seasonal streamflow forecasting for the Snake River Basin in the Pacific Northwest that uses the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrology model in conjunction with adjustments ... -
Industrial Water Use Kuznets Curve: Evidence from Industrialized Countries and Implications for Developing Countries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper investigates the existence of the Kuznets curve in industrial water use. The result shows that industrial water use in most countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has ... -
Sensor Placement in Water Networks: A Stochastic Programming Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Placement of sensors in water distribution networks helps timely detection of contamination and reduces risk to the population. Identifying the optimal locations of these sensors is important from an economic perspective ... -
GIS Visualization and Analysis of River Operations Impacts on Endangered Species Habitat
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Many river systems include natural and manmade backwater areas providing habitat for a diverse community of aquatic and aviary species, including several listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Concern ... -
Developing Multiple Indicators and Triggers for Drought Plans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Drought plans depend on indicators and triggers to characterize drought conditions and guide drought responses. Yet indicators and triggers often suffer from deficiencies, such as temporal and spatial inconsistency, ... -
Alternative Decision Making in Water Distribution Network with NSGA-II
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Cost of effective design or rehabilitation of the pipe networks depends largely on the available budget and satisfying pressures expected at the demand nodes. With the available market pipe sizes, one or more solutions of ... -
Runoff Quality Analysis of Urban Catchments with Analytical Probabilistic Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The assessment of stormwater runoff pollution from urban catchments is addressed within a probabilistic framework. The methodology utilizes probability density functions of rainfall event characteristics, a runoff coefficient ... -
Value of Instream Recreation in the Sonoran Desert
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This study investigates recreation use value for access to a Sonoran Desert canyon, and associated instream flow, through a case study of Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness. The Wilderness is one of the last perennial streams in ... -
Opportunity Costs of Residential Best Management Practices for Stormwater Runoff Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Excess stormwater runoff is a serious problem in a large number of urban areas, causing flooding, water pollution, groundwater recharge deficits, and ecological damage to urban streams. Solutions currently proposed to deal ... -
Stochastic Dynamic Programming with Risk Consideration for Transbasin Diversion System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)An optimization procedure called SDPR that includes dynamic programming, stochastic dynamic programming (SDP), simulation, and trial and error adjustment of risk coefficient is developed and applied to determine the optimal ... -
Closure to “Optimal In Situ Bioremediation Design by Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Simulated Annealing” by Horng-Jer Shieh and Richard C. Peralta

Stochastic Optimization of the Highland Lakes System in Texas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A multistage stochastic optimization model using linear programming was developed to provide planning tools for Lower Colorado River Authority in the operation of the Highland Lakes system, as well as a framework for ... -
Monitoring Snow-Cover Depletion by Coupling Satellite Imagery with a Distributed Snowmelt Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Many watersheds in Canada and in the northern United States see most of their precipitation in the form of snow. Many of these watersheds are the sites of important hydropower development projects. During snowmelt, watershed ... -
Multi-Objective Trade-Offs between Cost and Reliability in the Replacement of Water Mains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Two of the main performance criteria of a water distribution system are that it is inexpensive to construct, operate, and maintain and that it operates in a reliable manner. These two criteria are often conflicting, thus ... -
Hydraulic Optimization of Transient Protection Devices Using GA and PSO Approaches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The purpose of this paper is to optimize the preliminary selection, sizing and placement of hydraulic devices in a pipeline system in order to control its transient response. A global optimal solution is sought using both ... -
