Perceived Risk of Cooperation between India and Nepal on the Kosi River
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The very geography of Nepal and India is such that these two countries must engage with each other in social, economic, and political spheres; water resources is one of the most important spheres. This study reviews the ... -
Assessing Watershed-Scale Stormwater Green Infrastructure Response to Climate Change in Clarksburg, Maryland
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Stormwater green infrastructure (GI) practices are implemented in urban watersheds to control stormwater runoff, reduce pollution, and adapt to climate change. This study evaluated the robustness of a watershed with ... -
Generalized Normalized Cut and Spanning Trees for Water Distribution Network Partitioning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study present an efficient graph-theoretical method for automatic design of district metered areas (DMAs) in water distribution networks (WDNs). The proposed method consists of two main parts, WDN partitioning and DMA ... -
Limitations on Optimizing Location and Scheduling of Chlorine Boosters in Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Boosting chlorine concentrations at intermediate locations within water distribution systems is a common way to maintain a specified minimum level of disinfectant to control microbiological regrowth. At the same time, ... -
Development of a Reservoir System Operation Model for Water Sustainability in the Yaqui River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The Yaqui River Basin (YRB) is in the semiarid state of Sonora in northwest Mexico. The flow in this watershed is controlled by three reservoirs: Angostura, Novillo, and Oviáchic. A daily reservoir operation model is ... -
Statewide Effects of Ending Long-Term Groundwater Overdraft in California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Groundwater overdraft is a major problem globally and has been a growing problem for California for decades. This overdraft is predominantly driven by the economic value of water for agricultural production and cities. ... -
Multiphase Procedure to Design District Metered Areas for Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Dividing a water distribution network into subsystems can improve the efficiency and ease of achieving management goals. Subsystems or district metered areas (DMAs) are isolated control zones with a defined number of ... -
Absorptive Resilience Phase Assessment Based on Criticality Performance Indicators for Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Water distributions networks (WDNs) are exposed to multiple hazards, leading the network to operate under a range of critical conditions. This paper explored the relationship between the impact of anomalous events (AEs) ... -
Dynamic Public Perceptions of Water Infrastructure in US Shrinking Cities: End-User Trust in Providers and Views toward Participatory Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The operating environment of water infrastructure is inherently dynamic due to factors such as water-related events, media coverage of such events, or changes in institutional expectations. This dynamic environment impacts ... -
Decision Analysis for Expansion of Mahaweli Multipurpose Reservoir System in Sri Lanka
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Water resource management is a complex process involving multiple stakeholders with different interests and different expertise. Typically, planning and management of water resources incorporate the analysis of social, ... -
Hierarchical Bayesian Model for Streamflow Estimation at Ungauged Sites via Spatial Scaling in the Great Lakes Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study presents a regional, probabilistic framework for estimating streamflow via spatial scaling for the purposes of informing water balance estimates in the Great Lakes basin. The framework follows a twofold strategy, ... -
Graph-Theoretic Surrogate Measure to Analyze Reliability of Water Distribution System Using Bayesian Belief Network–Based Data Fusion Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Reliability assessment is an integral component of the decision-making process in the planning, design, and operations of water distribution networks (WDNs). Two different approaches are used to evaluate the reliability ... -
Uncertainty Quantification for Damping in Transient Pressure Oscillations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The uncertainty of a model to determine the damping of pressure head oscillations following a sudden valve closure in a simple piping system in a pressurized closed conduit is quantified using Bayesian inference. The joint ... -
Optimal Groundwater-Use Strategy for Saltwater Intrusion Management in a Pacific Island Country
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Escalating salinity levels in the Bonriki aquifer due to unplanned groundwater extraction is a major concern for the people of Kiribati. A multiobjective management model capable of providing sustainable optimal groundwater ... -
Robust Urban Drainage System: Development of a Novel Multiscenario-Based Design Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A traditional single-scenario design approach considers the most probable future scenario, which is very risky and may result in high supplementary cost or overpayment (i.e., regret cost). An alternative involves ... -
A Dynamic Adaptive Approach for Water Distribution Network Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the face of a highly uncertain future, there is a need for water utilities to develop structured approaches for the long-term strategic design of water distribution networks (WDNs). A new conceptual framework for ... -
Bridge-Block Partitioning Algorithm for Speeding Up Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Many water distribution system (WDS) solution methods have been developed to perform demand-driven steady-state analysis. These methods are used to solve the nonlinear system of equations that model a WDS. WDS networks ... -
Bayesian Localization of Water Distribution System Contamination Intrusion Events Using Inline Mobile Sensor Data
