Leak Localization in a Real Water Distribution Network Based on Search-Space Reduction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This research article presents a model-based framework for detecting and localizing leaks in water distribution networks (WDNs). The framework uses optimization and systematic search space reduction. The method employs two ... -
Long-Range River Discharge Forecasting Using the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Diarrheal diseases, notably cholera, have been shown to be related to episodic seasonal variability in river discharge, predominantly low flows, in regions where water and sanitation infrastructure are inadequate. Forecasting ... -
Deficiency of Reliability Indicators in Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In recent studies about reliability analysis of water distribution systems (WDSs), different reliability indicators have been used to measure and compare the reliability of water networks. These indicators have been used ... -
Efficient Tabu Search Procedure for Short-Term Planning of Large-Scale Hydropower Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Short-term hydrogeneration scheduling aims at minimizing water consumption for the next 7–15 days on an hourly basis, while satisfying the electrical load as well as many operational, regulatory, and safety requirements. ... -
Evaluation of Climate Model Performance for Water Supply Studies: Case Study for New York City
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Evaluating the suitability of data from global climate models (GCMs) for use as input in water supply models is an important step in the larger task of evaluating the effects of climate change on water resources management ... -
New Transboundary Hydrographic Data Set for Advancing Regional Hydrological Modeling and Water Resources Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The authors document the development and testing of a new suite of hydrologic and hydraulic data for the customization of the new National Water Model (NWM) to the Great Lakes basin. The NWM was recently (August 2016) ... -
Comparing the Economic and Environmental Effects of Different Water Management Schemes Using a Coupled Agent–Hydrologic Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Confronted with diverse water management schemes, policymakers in arid basins face difficulty in choosing a particular scheme due to a lack of appropriate tools to estimate possible physical and economic outcomes in a ... -
Effects of Hydrologic Conditions and Reservoir Operation on Transboundary Cooperation in the Lancang–Mekong River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Multiple stakeholders in transboundary river basins would benefit from cooperation, but how and why stakeholders can achieve this cooperation remains difficult to determine. This paper proposes an approach for analyzing ... -
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 ... -
Assessing Conjunctive Use Opportunities with Stakeholders in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The management of global water resources is increasingly contested. Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) is an example relevant to many semiarid basins around the world. In the MDB, government has recovered substantial ... -
Estimating Profit, Price, and Productivity Changes in Water Industry Using Bennet-Bowley Indicator
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The assessment of profit, productivity, and price change over time is valuable for regulators and companies when setting tariffs. This paper innovates by comparing profit, price, and productivity changes for English and ... -
Optimal Irrigation with Perfect Weekly Forecasts versus Imperfect Seasonal Forecasts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study examines the impact of weekly and seasonal weather forecasts on the optimal irrigation scheduling problem. We compare stochastic and deterministic simulation-optimization frameworks for irrigation scheduling ... -
Machine Learning for Modeling Water Demand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This work shows the application of machine learning (ML) methods to the modeling of water demand for the first time. Classification and regression trees (CART) and random forest (RF), a multivariate, spatially nonstationary ... -
Using Seasonal Forecasts to Inform Water Market-Scale Option Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Option contracts have been successfully established in water-scare regions to facilitate temporary transfers of water between users. The benefits are clear when the contract water quantity can be guaranteed by the seller. ... -
Cost Model for Pumps as Turbines in Run-of-River and In-Pipe Microhydropower Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Pumps as Turbines (PATs) are standard water pumps utilized as hydraulic turbines by reversing the flow direction across them. The off-the-shelf availability of water pumps and their reduced purchase price with respect to ... -
Reservoir Operations under Changing Climate Conditions: Hydropower-Production Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Climate change has significant effects on the management of complex water resource systems. The objective of this study was to assess climate change effects on reservoir system operations. The assessment was performed using ... -
Comparison of Surrogate Models Based on Different Sampling Methods for Groundwater Remediation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)To assess the influence of sampling methods on surrogate models’ accuracy, using two test problems and a nitrobenzene-contaminated aquifer remediation problem, several sampling methods were adopted to collect sample data ... -
Simulation-Optimization Model to Derive Operation Rules of Multiple Cascaded Reservoirs for Nash Equilibrium
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Operation rules are commonly used to make decisions for cascaded hydropower reservoirs for profit maximization, given the energy price of current and future periods. For large-scale cascaded hydropower reservoirs whose ...
