A Comprehensive Review of the Nexus of Food, Energy, and Water Systems: What the Models Tell Us
(ASCE, 2022-04-12)The world faces mounting challenges related to food, energy, and water security. Modeling approaches have emerged in the last decade to address this problem with mixed outcomes across a range of boundaries, including local, ... -
Distributional Implications of Supply Constraints in Water Markets
(ASCE, 2022-04-20)In California, after three decades of water market development, volume of water traded in the market remains lower than desired. Total volume of water traded annually accounts for just around 2%–5% of total water used. ... -
Examining the Longitudinal Dispersion of Solutes Inside Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 2022-03-21)Accurate interpretation of longitudinal dispersion of solutes within distribution pipes increases the reliability of the predictions of water distribution systems (WDS) water quality analysis models. However, the estimation ... -
Modeling in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Overcoming the Water Sector’s Data Struggles to Realize the Potential of Hydraulic Models
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)Hydraulic models can provide efficient and cost-effective ways for water utilities to evaluate changes in operating conditions (e.g., population dynamics, disasters), thereby increasing system resiliency during crises. ... -
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Water Utility Operations and Vulnerability
(ASCE, 2022-03-31)The COVID-19 pandemic affected the operation of water utilities across the world. In the context of utilities, new protocols were needed to ensure that employees can work safely, and that water service is not interrupted. ... -
Multiple Leakage Detection and Isolation in District Metering Areas Using a Multistage Approach
(ASCE, 2022-03-21)Hydraulic accidents or abnormal situations, also known as leakages, cause not only water losses but also service interruptions and other negative effects. To facilitate the rapid response of water utilities and reduce water ... -
Characterizing Hydrologic Vulnerability under Nonstationary Climate and Antecedent Conditions Using a Process-Informed Stochastic Weather Generator
(ASCE, 2022-04-05)The evaluation of water systems based on historical statistics is problematic when shifts in the hydrologic system occur due to a changing climate. An explicit link to thermodynamic and dynamic pathways in the climate ... -
Evaluating the Marginal Utility of Two-Stage Hydropower Scheduling
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)Understanding the trade-offs associated with the two operation stages of hydropower generation is critical for guiding efficient reservoir operations. Previous studies showed that the marginal return in Stage 2 is always ... -
Energy and Hydraulic Efficiency in Intermittent Operation of Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 2022-03-11)Water distribution is an important service due to its economic, social, and health purpose. Therefore, a continuous supply is required to keep consumers satisfied. However, emergency scenarios of water scarcity, caused by ... -
Adaptive Short-Term Flood Defense Deployment Planning
(ASCE, 2022-04-07)Temporary flood defenses constitute a supplementary approach to permanent engineering solutions for flood management. However, their deployment strategy is a challenge because it depends on uncertain short-term weather ... -
Graph Neural Networks for State Estimation in Water Distribution Systems: Application of Supervised and Semisupervised Learning
(ASCE, 2022-03-14)Emerging trends of resilient and reliable water infrastructure advocate for the development of efficient state estimation (SE) techniques in water distribution systems (WDSs). SE refers to estimating the flows and heads ... -
Exploration of Relationships between Flood Control Capacity and Peak Flow Reduction in a Multireservoir System Using an Optimization-Clustering-Fitting Framework
(ASCE, 2022-03-11)Quantifying the relationship between reservoir flood capacity and peak flow reduction can identify reservoirs with good flood control effect and be important for reasonably allocating flood control capacity for larger peak ... -
