Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems in Model Based Control of the Overwaard Polder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Recent developments in the field of computational intelligence (CI) techniques are helping to solve various problems of water resources modeling and management. These techniques have also shown their potential as an ... -
Aquifer Management Zones Based on Simulated Surface-Water Response Functions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Conjunctive management of surface and ground water requires an understanding of the degree to which surface water resources will be impacted by aquifer stresses at different locations. Response functions quantify the rate ... -
Impacts of Leaks on Energy Consumption in Pumped Systems with Storage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)A conceptual examination of the energy impact of leaks in systems with storage is undertaken. Consideration of how leakage is experienced at the pump is followed by an analysis of how different leakage levels alter energy ... -
Decision Support for Watershed Management Using Evolutionary Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)An integrative computational methodology is developed for the management of nonpoint source pollution from watersheds. The associated decision support system is based on an interface between evolutionary algorithms (EAs) ... -
Coupling of Engineering and Biological Models for Ecosystem Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Robust ecosystem analysis of water resource systems remains elusive. A principle reason is the difficulty in linking engineering models used to simulate physicochemical processes associated with project design or operation ... -
Hybrid Genetic Algorithm—Local Search Methods for Solving Groundwater Source Identification Inverse Problems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Identifying contaminant sources in groundwater is important for developing effective remediation strategies and identifying responsible parties in a contamination incident. Groundwater source identification problems require ... -
Drought Allocations Using the Systems Impact Assessment Model: Klamath River
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Water supply and allocation scenarios for the Klamath River, Ore. and Calif., were evaluated using the Systems Impact Assessment Model (SIAM), a decision support system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. SIAM is a ... -
Water Distribution Systems Connectivity Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)A water distribution system is a collection of hydraulic control elements jointly connected to convey quantities of water from sources to consumers. Such a system can be described as a graph with the nodes representing the ... -

Reliability-Based Approach to Multicriteria Decision Analysis for Water Resources
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Analyses of water resource allocation problems can be undertaken using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), yet various sources of uncertainty exist in the application of MCDA methods, including the definition of criteria ... -
Adaptive Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Groundwater Remediation Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Optimal groundwater remediation design problems are often complex, nonlinear, and computationally intensive. Genetic algorithms allow solution of more complex nonlinear problems than traditional gradient-based approaches, ... -
Multiobjective Optimization for Sustainable Groundwater Management in Semiarid Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Increasing demands for water by competing users in semiarid regions pose new challenges for water resources managers. Decision makers must understand the interactions between surface water, groundwater, and the environmental ... -
Classifier System for Rule-Based Operation of Canal Gates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)A classifier system for automatic operation of canal gates was developed and tested through simulation modeling. The classifier system manipulates a population of rules that are trained to “learn” appropriate operational ...
