Booster Disinfection Scheduling under Uncertainty in Water Distribution Systems: Approximate Robust Reformulation Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)One key aspect of ensuring water safety in water distribution systems (WDS) is the controlled use of disinfectants like chlorine within these systems. The number of disinfectant levels in WDS directly impacts the quality ... -
Equality in Unrestricted Intermittent Water Supply Networks: Conceptual Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Up to a billion people receive drinking water intermittently, sometimes for just a few hours per week. Improving water quality and reducing inequality in these supply networks can be difficult because operational details ... -
Balancing Effectiveness and Equity in Sustainable Water Management Transitions: Case of the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In response to diverse socioenvironmental challenges, urban water utilities in the United States are transitioning to more sustainable management practices that are often designed to reduce total water consumption. Although ... -
Uncertain Resource Allocation for Coastal Floods Based on the Resilience of Interdependent Water Infrastructures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Floods are known as one of the most frequent natural events that impose many risks and consequences, especially for coastal communities. Utility companies such as wastewater and electricity have to improve the resilience ... -
Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operation within an Actively Managed Distributed Storage Network Using the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh Product
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)An increase in extreme rainfall frequency across the midwestern United States has been accompanied by an increase in damaging floods. The US has over 90,000 dams, more than 75% of which are small and rarely used for flood ... -
Optimizing Regulatory Floodways: Dynamic Programming Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The United States National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) relies on floodway and encroachment line standards to regulate floodplain development and minimize flood damage while ensuring public safety. A regulatory floodway ... -
National-Scale Optimized Design of Cost-Effective Water Supply and Transfer Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Many countries contain some regions with water surpluses and others with deficits, and with differences in the marginal cost of future water supply development. These factors imply to some extent an opportunity to attain ... -
Toward Identifying Cyber Dependencies in Water Distribution Systems Using Causal AI
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Water distribution systems are complex critical infrastructures that are vulnerable to cyberattacks, yet there is a lack of research on understanding the dependencies and interdependencies in these systems. Assessing ... -
Real-Time Pump Scheduling in Water Distribution Networks Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
