Potable water distribution networks (WDNs) and wastewater collection networks (WWCNs)
are the two fundamental constituents of the complex urban water infrastructure. Such water …

This paper describes the application of the newly introduced Continuous Ant Colony
Optimization Algorithm (CACOA) to optimal design of sewer networks. Two alternative …

This paper presents a new framework for the adaptive reservoir operation considering water
quantity and quality objectives. In this framework, using the European Centre for Medium …

Recent developments in urban drainage modelling allow for a more realistic coupling of the
two-dimensional (2D) surface and one-dimensional (1D) sub-surface drainage domain …

Stormwater drainage networks are designed to reduce the risk of rainwater damage to the
served area. The purpose of optimizing a stormwater drainage system is to reduce overall …

The design of urban stormwater systems and sanitary sewer systems consists of solving two
problems: generating a layout of the system and the pipe design which includes the crown …

Hydropower operation of multi-reservoir systems is very difficult to solve mostly due to their
nonlinear, nonconvex and large-scale nature. While conventional methods are long known …

An optimization procedure has been developed for branching storm and sanitary sewer
systems with a pre-determined layout for determining the minimum total cost. The model was …

A Cellular Automata approach is introduced in this paper for the optimal design of sewer
network problems. The solution of sewer network optimization problems requires the …

Wastewater collection systems greatly contribute to the cost of the overall municipal
sewerage system; a cost-effective design of the collection system will provide significant …
