Coordinated Decentralization-Based Optimization of Disinfectant Dosing in Large-Scale Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Disinfectants are typically used in water distribution networks (WDNs) to maintain the microbiological quality of potable water throughout the network. Disinfectant residual levels in such large distribution networks need ... -
Combining a Multispecies Water Quality and Pressure-Driven Hydraulic Analysis to Determine Areas at Risk During Sustained Pressure-Deficient Conditions in a Distribution System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Realistic numerical models can assist in managing pressure losses in water distribution systems, which is a challenge for water utilities. This paper presents a methodology for simulating the impact of sustained low/negative ... -
Conjunctive Management of Surface Water and Groundwater Resources under Drought Conditions Using a Fully Coupled Hydrological Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A conjunctive management model has been developed to obtain optimal allocation of surface water and groundwater under different constraints during a drought. Two simulation models—a fully distributed hydrologic model and ... -
Joint Operation of Pressure-Reducing Valves and Pumps for Improving the Efficiency of Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)New environmental paradigms imposed by climate change and urbanization processes are leading cities to rethink urban management services. Propelled by technological development and the internet of things, an increasingly ... -
Developing a Reliability-Based Waste Load Allocation Strategy for River-Reservoir Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Enhanced socioeconomic criteria and temporal changes in the topology of the system often require waste load reallocation (WLRA) in a river-reservoir system to sustain long-term water quality standards. In addition to climate ... -
Simple Method for Calculating Hydraulic Behavior of Combined Sewer Overflow from Rainfall Event Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper proposes a simple method for estimating the hydraulic behavior of combined sewer overflow (CSO) using only rainfall data. The method analyzes rainfall event time-series data to extract the critical rainfall ... -
Operation of Multiple Pumped-Water Sources with No Storage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The cost of pumping is one of the most significant operational expenditures in a water distribution network. When a network has multiple water sources, which are associated with pumping stations, it may be possible to ... -
Adaptive Water-Resource Allocation Planning of Inland Waterways in the Context of Global Change
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Inland waterways are large-scale networks that are mainly used for navigation. They require optimal water resource management, particularly when navigation demand is expected to increase in the near future. Moreover, water ... -
Battle of the Attack Detection Algorithms: Disclosing Cyber Attacks on Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The BATtle of the Attack Detection ALgorithms (BATADAL) is the most recent competition on planning and management of water networks undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis Symposium. The goal of the battle ... -
Stormwater Pipe Performance Index Using Fuzzy Inference Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Stormwater utility managers have limited resources and funds to manage their pipe systems. To effectively make decisions on allocating limited resources and funds, a utility should be able to understand and assess the ... -
Contamination Detection of Water with Varying Routine Backgrounds by UV-Spectrophotometry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Water is a resource that affects every aspect of life. Intentional or accidental contamination events in the water supply system could have a tremendous impact on public health. Quick detection of such events can reduce ... -
Generalized Linear Two-Point Hedging Rule for Water Supply Reservoir Operation
