Optimisation of water distribution system design is a well-established research field, which
has been extremely productive since the end of the 1980s. Its primary focus is to minimise …

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

Water resources planning and design problems, such as the sequencing of water supply
infrastructure, are often complicated by deep uncertainty, including changes in population …

This paper describes a multi-objective optimization model including Real Options concepts
for the design and operation of water distribution networks. This approach is explained …

This paper presents and discusses concepts, models, and methods for defining strategies,
plans, and actions to achieve the sustainable development of water and environmental …

In 2000, the resilience and failure indices were introduced as a convenient and compact tool
to express respectively water-distribution network (WDN) surplus and deficit in satisfying …

In order to address the issue of water demand uncertainty due to the effect of climate change
and urbanization in the design and management of water distribution systems (WDSs), a …

Cost effectiveness is a major concern when implementing low impact development (LID)
practices for urban stormwater management (USWM). To optimize LID layout, an efficient …

The aim of this paper is to show that the combined use of the resilience index (Todini, 2000)
with a loop based diameter uniformity index (here formulated) yields a good indirect …

In the face of a highly uncertain future, there is a need for water utilities to develop structured
approaches for the long-term strategic design of water distribution networks (WDNs). A new …
