Differentiating Diversions and Drought to Understand Drivers of Water Loss from a North American Terminal Lake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractWater levels on Mono Lake, an iconic terminal lake in North America’s Great Basin, declined rapidly from the late 1940s to the early 1980s during a period of increased diversions. Our research investigated why water ... -
Enhancing Reservoir Operations by Leveraging Large-Scale Data Sets for Multi-Objective Simulation and Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe management of multipurpose reservoirs necessitates multiple and often conflicting objectives such as flood control, water supply, and downstream channel performance. This study introduces a novel and comprehensive ... -
Comparing Robust Optimization Approaches for Addressing Hydrologic Model Uncertainty in Infrastructure Planning: A Green Infrastructure Example
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractWater resources planning is dependent on hydrologic models to estimate flows and storage in candidate engineering designs. However, such models are calibrated with limited flow data relative to the many model ... -
Prospect Theory and MCDM/A Methods in the Selection of Sustainable Wastewater Treatment Plants
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe management of water and other natural resources encompasses several important decision-making situations, one of the most relevant being the selection of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Because of the ... -
Effects of Minimum Cost Optimization in Water Distribution Networks on Residual Chlorine and Trihalomethanes Dynamics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractWater distribution networks (WDNs) are designed under parameters and restrictions that guarantee compliance with hydraulic and water quality conditions in the system. The optimized design of WDNs ensures a lower ... -
