Real-Time Modeling for Navigation and Hydropower in the River Mosel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper describes the development and implementation of a modeling approach using both nonlinear optimization and finite-element simulation to improve the control of river reach water levels for navigation and hydroelectric ... -
Sampling Design for Network Model Calibration Using Genetic Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Today, most municipal water utilities use computerized numerical models of their distribution networks. These models must be calibrated to the physical system if they are to provide accurate results. Calibration entails ... -
Long Time-Series Simulation of Water Quality in Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Dynamic (extended period simulation) models have largely replaced steady-state models for simulation of water quality in distribution networks. Dynamic modeling generally has been limited to periods of a day or a few days. ... -
Leak Detection and Calibration Using Transients and Genetic Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Leak detection and calibration of pipe internal roughnesses in a water distribution network are significant issues for water authorities around the world. Computer simulation of water distribution systems to determine the ... -
Optimization of Regional Water Distribution System with Blending Requirements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)In a multisource, multiquality regional water distribution system, water agencies often find that it is necessary to impose blending requirements at certain control points in the system in order to secure the desired water ... -
Multiobjective Management of Potomac River Consumptive Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Multiobjective systems analysis is used to size reservoir storage and identify noninferior system operating rules that mitigate the impacts of consumptive appropriations. The marginal impacts of consumptive use are offset ... -

Velocity Profiles and Unsteady Pipe Friction in Transient Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Transient conditions in closed conduits have traditionally been modeled as 1D flows with the implicit assumption that velocity profile and friction losses can be accurately predicted using equivalent 1D velocities. Although ... -
Integrating Yield and Shortage Management under Multiple Uncertainties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)An economic-engineering modeling approach is presented for integrating urban water supply reliability analysis with shortage management options such as dry year option and spot market water transfers, water reuse, and long- ... -
Constraint Handling for Genetic Algorithms in Optimal Remediation Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)There often is difficulty enforcing the given constraints when applying a genetic algorithm (a flexible stochastic search method) to optimal ground-water remediation design problems. This paper compares two methods for ... -

Comparison of ANNs and Empirical Approaches for Predicting Watershed Runoff
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Prediction of watershed runoff resulting from precipitation events is of great interest to hydrologists. The nonlinear response of a watershed (in terms of runoff) to rainfall events makes the problem very complicated. In ... -
Accuracy of Neural Network Approximators in Simulation-Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Heuristic search techniques are highly flexible but computationally intensive optimization methods that require hundreds, sometimes thousands, of evaluations of the objective function to reach termination criteria in common ... -
Efficient and Equitable Impact Fees for Urban Water Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)An efficient and equitable method for determination of impact fees for urban water systems is presented. A fair allocation of costs is based on -
Short-Term Operation Model for Coupled Hydropower Reservoirs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A short-term operation model is developed for optimal operation of hydraulically coupled hydropower plants. The model uses mixed integer nonlinear programming as an optimization tool. An innovative method is proposed to ... -
Neural Network-Based Simulation-Optimization Model for Reservoir Operation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)There have been several attempts to use combined simulation-optimization models to solve reservoir operation problems efficiently. In many cases, complex simulation models are available, but direct incorporation of them ... -
EXPLORE—Hybrid Expert System for Water Networks Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A hybrid expert system called EXPLORE has been developed to manage the Seville City water-supply system. The main difficulties are the lack of information on management procedures, the complicated electrical tariff, the ... -
Linear Programming for Flood Control in the Iowa and Des Moines Rivers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This study addresses questions related to flood-control operating procedures followed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District. Application is presented of a mixed integer linear programming model for a ... -
Dynamic Models for Floodplain Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A dynamic model of floodplain management is shown to address nonstationary conditions, including land-use changes, channel modifications, economic development, and climate change and variability. The dynamic approach permits ... -
Statewide Non-Point-Source Pollution Assessment Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)We present a new methodology for performing Virginia's statewide, watershed-level non-point-source pollution assessment. The problems and inconsistencies inherent in previous methodologies were addressed and improved upon. ...
