Modeling the Trophic State of Subtropical Reservoir in Southern Brazil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Eutrophication is an environmental imbalance arising from excess nutrients and causing a decrease of water quality. This study assessed the water quality of the Vacacaí Mirim reservoir in the city of Santa Maria, Brazil, ... -
Impact of Water Resources Development on Water Availability for Hydropower Production and Irrigated Agriculture of the Eastern Nile Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Eastern Nile riparian countries are currently developing several reservoir projects to contribute to the needs for energy and food production in the region. In the absence of formal mechanisms for collaboration, the ... -
Policy Options for Coastal Protection: Integrating Inland Water Management with Coastal Management for Greater Community Resilience
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Coastal cliff collapse is a problem faced along many shorelines the world over, especially as cliffs tend to be affected by global climate change. Problems of cliff collapse can benefit from interdisciplinary policy responses ... -
Investigating Effectiveness of Sensor Placement Strategies in Contamination Detection within Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Water quality sensors placed in water distribution systems (WDSs) are critical for detecting accidental or intentional contamination intrusion. This motivates research to optimally place a limited number of sensors for a ... -
Explicit Expressions for State Estimation Sensitivity Analysis in Water Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The implementation of state estimation techniques to water systems enables the hydraulic state of a given network to be computed at any time. However, errors in both measurements and model parameters can severely affect ... -

Assessing the Performance of a California Water Utility Using Two-Stage Data Envelopment Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology was applied in this study to assess the performance of individual districts of a California water utility for calendar year 214 (CY214). A bootstrap technique involving ... -
Partitioning the Impacts of Streamflow and Evaporation Uncertainty on the Operations of Multipurpose Reservoirs in Arid Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ongoing changes in global climate are expected to alter the hydrologic regime of many river basins worldwide, expanding historically observed variability as well as increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events. ... -
Trends in Water Yield under Climate Change and Urbanization in the US Mid-Atlantic Region
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Changes in climate and land use are two primary drivers of hydrologic adjustment. This study analyzes 4 years of water resources data for 1 watersheds in the Washington, DC metropolitan area to quantify the impact of ... -
Modeling Failures in Water Mains Using the Minimum Monthly Antecedent Precipitation Index
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper examines the performance of the minimum monthly antecedent precipitation index (MMAPI) and other covariates in modeling pipe failures using the nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). Monthly time lag is introduced ... -

Integrating Raw Water Transfers into an Eastern United States Management Context
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the eastern United States, intermittent transfers of treated water are being used more often as a drought management tool; however, untreated raw water transfers, similar to those observed in the western US, are rare. ... -
Multiobjective Analysis of Green-Blue Water Uses in a Highly Utilized Basin: Case Study of Pangani Basin, Africa
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The concept of integrated water resource management (IWRM) attempts to integrate all elements of water resources. Different tools are developed to assist in developing sound IWRM plans. One such tool is multiobjective ... -
Min-Max Linear Programming Model for Multireservoir System Operation with Power Deficit Aspect
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Because of the growing demand for energy in recent years, multireservoir system operation with a power deficit aspect is becoming an increasingly important problem in electrical power systems. To satisfy this practical ... -
Optimization of Pumping Costs and Harvested Volume for a Stormwater Harvesting System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A harvested stormwater and managed aquifer recharge system has been analyzed through both simulation sensitivity analysis and optimization to reduce operational pumping costs and increase the volume of water harvested. The ... -
Water Distribution System Design to Minimize Costs and Maximize Topological and Hydraulic Reliability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Many surrogate measures for water distribution system (WDS) reliability have been introduced in the last three decades. This study investigated the differences between designs based on topological and hydraulic reliabilities. ... -
Multi-Timescale Joint Optimal Dispatch Model Considering Environmental Flow Requirements for a Dewatered River Channel: Case Study of Jinping Cascade Hydropower Stations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, the authors developed a multi-timescale optimal dispatch model to balance both the environmental flow requirement of the downstream dewatered river channel and the power output of the cascade hydropower ... -
Integrated Methodology for Urban Flood Risk Mitigation in Cittanova, Italy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Urban growth usually aggravates flooding problems, disrupting city life and requiring engineering works to ensure safety conditions to lower-lying city areas. Traditionally, canalization works were the preferred choice for ... -
Simulation of Dualistic Hydrological Processes Affected by Intensive Human Activities Based on Distributed Hydrological Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Affected by intensive human activities, basin hydrologic systems show characteristics of a dualistic structure. Thus, simulation of hydrological processes needs to consider the social water cycle system to obtain a more ... -
