Household Attitudes toward Water Rate Increases Based on Perceptions of Water Service Reliability and Quality: An Exploratory Analysis
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Due to the high costs associated with maintaining and upgrading water infrastructure systems, selecting an appropriate water rate to charge for water service is an important step for water utilities. Understanding the ... -
Surface Reservoir Reoperation for Managed Aquifer Recharge: Folsom Reservoir System
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )As is much of the world, California increasingly is challenged by water scarcity. A recent multiyear drought depleted surface reservoir and groundwater storage in many places of the state. The Sustainable Groundwater ... -
Framework for Modeling Lead in Premise Plumbing Systems Using EPANET
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )The lead contamination of drinking water in homes and buildings remains an important public health concern. In order to assess strategies to measure and reduce exposure to lead from drinking water, models are needed that ... -
Comparing Performance Indicators for Assessing and Building Resilient Water Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Water distribution systems (WDSs) are critical infrastructures that need to be resilient to cope with and quickly recover from exceptional conditions in an uncertain and challenging future. To build resilience in the design ... -
Multiobjective Optimal Operation of Reservoirs Based on Water Supply, Power Generation, and River Ecosystem with a New Water Resource Allocation Model
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )A multiobjective water resource allocation model (GWAS) was constructed to incorporate the objectives of socioeconomic water use, power generation, and river ecological flow. The new model can simulate both rule-based ... -
Adaptation of Multiobjective Reservoir Operations to Snowpack Decline in the Western United States
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Long-term snowpack decline is among the best-understood impacts of climate change on water resources systems. This trend has been observed for decades and is projected to continue even in climate projections in which total ... -
Preconditioning Water Distribution Network Optimization with Head Loss–Based Design Method
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This paper develops a new domain knowledge–based initial design method for the optimization of water distribution network design. The new initial water distribution network design method, termed as head loss-based design ... -
Optimizing Sensor Placement and Quantity for Pipe Burst Detection in a Water Distribution Network
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )The configuration of a burst detection network is fundamental to safely monitoring a water distribution network (WDN). A pipe burst event can be detected only when the effects of the burst are distinguishable from background ... -
Performance Assessment Framework for Small Water Systems: Case Study in British Columbia
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This study presents a performance assessment of small water systems (SWSs) through the lens of drinking water quality management. The performance assessment is based on five criteria: treatment and disinfection; water ... -
Spatial Configurations of Land Cover Influence Flood Regulation Ecosystem Services
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )Urbanization is one of the most aggressive forms of land transformation, leading to negative impacts on surrounding aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In terms of hydrology, urbanization compromises the ability of the ... -
Risk-Based Models for Optimal Sensor Location Problems in Water Networks
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )Water distribution networks (WDNs), as vital systems of any city, are vulnerable to the intrusion of contamination, and the security of WDNs is of great importance. A promising approach for the protection of WDNs against ... -
Large-Scale Unit Commitment for Cascaded Hydropower Plants with Hydraulic Coupling and Head-Sensitive Forbidden Zones: Case of the Xiluodu and Xiangjiaba Hydropower System
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )This study presents a methodology for optimizing the unit commitment (UC) of the Xiluodu and Xiangjiaba cascaded hydropower plants that rank as the second- and third-largest hydropower plants in China. This UC problem ... -
Multiobjective and Joint Operation Model for Multistakeholder Cascade Hydropower System
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )Involvement in the operation of a multiobjective and multistakeholder hydropower system requires balancing conflicting objectives and coordinating economic gains to achieve a win–win situation through joint operation. This ... -
Valuing Ecosystem Services under Climate Risk: A Case of Recreational Fisheries in the Florida Everglades
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Coastal ecosystems are at great risk from climate change and sea level rise, potentially resulting in loss of habitat and economic costs to society. This study aimed to investigate whether users’ attitudes toward climate ... -
Drinking Water Distribution System Network Clustering Using Self-Organizing Map for Real-Time Demand Estimation
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Consumer demand estimation is a key step in real-time drinking water system (DWS) modeling used for demand forecasting, optimal operations, and water quality management. Consumer nodes in a DWS are generally clustered to ... -
Long-Term Optimization of Large-Scale Hydropower System Operations Based on Decomposition-Coordination
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The basic objective of long-term optimization of large-scale hydropower system operations (LOLHSO) is to increase water resource use efficiency and construct a clean and low-carbon-intensity energy system. However, limited ...
