Resolving Conflicts between Irrigation Agriculture and Ecohydrology Using Many-Objective Robust Decision Making
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)In arid regions, sustainable groundwater management is crucial for the protection of vulnerable local ecosystems but often leads to conflict with the interests of economic development. Management models containing ... -
Need for Process Based Empirical Models for Water Quality Management: Salinity Management in the Delaware River Basin
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Managing salinity in the Upper Delaware Estuary is an important operational goal within the Delaware River Basin (DRB). High salinity concentrations can create water quality and operational challenges which increase treatment ... -
Detecting Cyber-Physical Attacks in Water Distribution Systems: One-Class Classifier Approach
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Water distribution systems (WDSs) are critical infrastructures that supply drinking water from water sources to end-users. Smart WDSs could be designed by integrating physical components (e.g., valve and pumps) with ... -
Optimization Framework to Assess the Demand Response Capacity of a Water Distribution System
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)As large electricity consumers, water distribution system (WDS) pumping stations have the potential to become meaningful participants in demand response (DR) programs. The authors propose an optimization framework for ... -
Water Distribution Systems Reliability under Extended-Period Simulations
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Water distribution systems reliability has typically been studied using single-period simulations of the hydraulic behavior of the system, due to high computational requirements. The aim of this work was to develop and ... -
Limitations of <i>E. coli</i> Monitoring for Confirmation of Contamination in Distribution Systems due to Intrusion under Low Pressure Conditions in the Presence of Disinfectants
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Low/negative pressure events that increase the risk of contaminant intrusion may take place in distribution systems and may become more common in ageing infrastructure. Guidance on whether to issue an advisory after loss ... -
Pressure-Based Analysis of Water Main Failures in California
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Frequent, extended, and high fluctuations of internal water pressure are suspected to be causally linked to water main failures. However, there is little solid quantitative evidence to support this for real water systems. ... -
Modulating Nodal Outflows to Guarantee Sufficient Disinfectant Residuals in Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)This paper proposes the modulation of nodal outflows in water distribution networks (WDNs) to solve the problem of low disinfectant concentrations at critical dead-end nodes, in which low flow velocities and long residence ... -
Developing Operation Procedures for Individual Reservoirs in a Large Multistate River Basin in Context of Tribunal Awards
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The uncertain nature of monsoon and the high temporal and spatial variability of rainfall in India make it imperative to utilize the available water resources optimally and efficiently. Reservoirs are one of the most ... -
Surrogate-Based Multiperiod, Multiobjective Reservoir Operation Optimization for Quality and Quantity Management
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Deriving optimal reservoir operation rules in a selective withdrawal framework (SWF) considering quality and quantity objectives is a challenging problem due to its computational burdens. To overcome the computational ... -
Effects of Relaxed Minimum Pipe Diameters on Fire Flow, Cost, and Water Quality Indicators in Drinking Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The use of pipes no smaller than 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter is often recommended for fire protection in North America. This work examines the some of the costs and benefits of this restriction by looking at a ... -
Stochastic Scenarios for 21st Century Rainfall Seasonality, Daily Frequency, and Intensity in South Florida
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)We demonstrate that a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM) can be useful for simulating future daily rainfall at 19 stations in South Florida. Using upper atmosphere circulation variables that are typically better ... -
Long-Term Equilibrium Operational Plan for Hydro-PV Hybrid Power System Considering Benefits, Stability, and Tolerance
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Due to the volatility, intermittency and, randomness of photovoltaic (PV) power output, hydropower is utilized as a complementary power source. The largest grid-connected hydro-PV power station, the Longyangxia project, ... -
Extending the Global-Gradient Algorithm to Solve Pressure-Control Valves
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)This work introduces two novel methods to the solution of water distribution networks equipped with pressure-control valves based on the global-gradient algorithm (GGA). One method, which can be viewed as an extension of ... -
Hydraulic Analysis of Intermittent Water-Distribution Networks Considering Partial-Flow Regimes
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Modeling intermittent water distribution networks (WDNs) requires effective incorporation of the transient flow conditions, including the transitions from pressurized to partial flow regimes and the inverse associated with ... -
Geospatial and Hydraulic Simulation to Design District Metered Areas for Large Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 7/1/2020 1)Water distribution systems can be divided into district metered areas (DMAs) to improve their management. DMAs are individual service regions within a distribution system that have a defined set of supply sources, and ... -
