Facing Future Water Scarcity in the Duero-Douro Basin: Comparative Effect of Policy Measures on Irrigation Water Availability
(ASCE, 2020)This study presents an analysis of possible policy measures to face water scarcity for agriculture in a long-term climate projection (2070–2100). Water availability was computed with the Water Availability and Adaptation ... -
Integrated Design of Dam Size and Operations via Reinforcement Learning
(ASCE, 2020)In the water systems analysis literature and practice, planning (i.e., dam sizing) and management (i.e., operation design) have been for long time addressed as two weakly interconnected problems, and this often ... -
Multiobjective Spatial Pumping Optimization for Groundwater Management in a Multiaquifer System
(ASCE, 2020)Challenges exist in managing groundwater resources because of spatiotemporally variable pumping activities as well as complex subsurface hydrogeology. In addition, excessive water exploitation induces an imbalance among ... -
Valuation and Aspirations for Drip Irrigation in Punjab, Pakistan
(ASCE, 2020)Modern drip-irrigation technologies improve water-use efficiency while simultaneously transforming areas that are not otherwise irrigable in practice (too distant or too high to be reached by surface waters). Although drip ... -
Ice-Jam Flood Risk Assessment and Hazard Mapping under Future Climate
(ASCE, 2020)In cold-region environments, ice-jam floods (IJFs) can result in high water levels in rivers to overtop levees, leading to devastating floods. Since climatic conditions play an important role in ice-jam flooding, there is ... -
Active Contamination Detection in Water-Distribution Systems
(ASCE, 2020)In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for altering the area monitored by water quality sensors in water distribution systems (WDS) when there is suspicion of a contamination event. The proposed active contamination ... -
Characterizing Trends, Variability, and Statistical Drivers of Multisectoral Water Withdrawals for Statewide Planning
(ASCE, 2020)Sustainable water management requires understanding the factors that influence water use across multiple time scales, spatial scales, and types of use. However, existing empirical research on water use largely consists of ... -
Improved Risk-Assessment Model for Real-Time Reservoir Flood-Control Operation
(ASCE, 2020)This paper puts forward an improved risk assessment model for a real-time reservoir flood control operation according to the stochastic differential equation (SDE). The model is composed of three components: (1) uncertainties ... -
Envisioning Blue Cities: Urban Water Governance and Water Footprinting
(ASCE, 2020)Urban water governance is a framework for addressing critical issues in cities’ water resources by creating a more inclusive policy for sustainable transitions. Beyond the physical or direct water resources available to ... -
Modeling Framework for Reservoir Capacity Planning Accounting for Fish Migration
(ASCE, 2020)Reservoirs change the environment upstream of dams from lotic to lentic and alter hydrodynamic migration cues, thereby forming barriers to upstream fish migration. Increasing reservoir capacity improves its ability to store ... -
Do Design Storms Yield Robust Drainage Systems? How Rainfall Duration, Intensity, and Profile Can Affect Drainage Performance
(ASCE, 2020)Design storms are an essential element in the design of urban drainage systems. While it is accepted that systems optimized with respect to design storms should perform well under similar rainfall conditions, there is a ... -
Reliability-Based Design of Urban Stormwater Detention Facilities with Random Carryover Storage
(ASCE, 2020)Evaluation of the operational efficiency of a stormwater detention facility may involve deterministic simulation or application of probabilistic models derived from runoff statistics. Using a probabilistic approach, a model ... -
Short-Term Water Demand Forecasting Using Nonlinear Autoregressive Artificial Neural Networks
(ASCE, 2020)Short-term water demand forecasting models address the case of a real-time optimal water pumping schedule. This study focuses on developing artificial neural network (ANN) models to forecast water demand 24 h and ... -
Improving the Resilience of Postdisaster Water Distribution Systems Using Dynamic Optimization Framework
(ASCE, 2020)Improving the resilience of water distribution systems (WDSs) to handle natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes) is a critical step toward sustainable urban water management. This requires the water utility to be able ... -
Uniformity and Heuristics-Based DeNSE Method for Sectorization of Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 2020)Sectorization of a water distribution network (WDN) into district metered areas (DMAs) is a proven solution for proactive leakage control. Traditionally, WDN sectorization is conducted by local experts using a trial-and-error ... -
Flow-Uniformity Index for Reliable-Based Optimal Design of Water-Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 2020)The reliability of water distribution network (WDN) designs for satisfying water demands under normal and abnormal operating conditions, including during pipe bursts and as systems age, is typically evaluated with surrogate ... -
A Content-Based Active-Set Method for Pressure-Dependent Models of Water Distribution Systems with Flow Controls
(ASCE, 2020)In this paper a new method is proposed that solves for the steady state of pressure-dependent models (PDMs) with flow control valves. Rather than model flow devices individually, the method solves the more general problem ... -
Transforming Global Climate Model Precipitation Output for Use in Urban Stormwater Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Statistically downscaled global climate model (GCM) precipitation output is available for Philadelphia, but the temporal resolution is too low for direct use in model-based urban stormwater applications. Additionally, GCM ...
