Water Distribution Network Renewal Planning
This paper provides an overview of the writers' previous work in formulating a comprehensive approach to the important problem of water distribution network renewal planning, with a particular emphasis on the computing aspects involved. As pipes in a water distribution network age in service, they are characterized by increased frequency of breakage ...

Competent genetic-evolutionary optimization of water distribution systems [PDF]
A genetic algorithm has been applied to the optimal design and rehabilitation of a water distribution system. Many of the previous applications have been limited to small water distribution systems, where the computer time used for solving the problem ...

Intermittent water optimized supply considering consumption pattern change in water distribution network [PDF]
IntroductionClimate change and population increase have caused an increase in consumption in the existing water distribution networks, as a result, an increase in the discharge in the pipes and a decrease in the pressure in the nodes.
