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 …

Problems with multiple objectives arise in a natural fashion in most disciplines and their
solution has been a challenge to researchers for a long time. Despite the considerable …

This paper surveys the literature on the optimisation of water distribution network design.
The water distribution network design (WDND) optimisation problem entails finding the …

This paper addresses the problem of optimal pressure management in water distribution
systems through the introduction and regulation of pressure reducing valves. Reduction in …

This paper applies a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, the non-dominated sorting
genetic algorithm (NSGA-II), to examine the operations of a multi-reservoir system in Taiwan …

Considerable research has been carried out on the optimization of water distribution
systems (WDSs) over the last three decades. In previous research, attention has mainly …

The design of water distribution networks is a large-scale combinatorial, non-linear
optimisation problem, involving many complex implicit constraint sets, such as nodal mass …

Abstract Design of Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) is a tremendously hard optimization
problem, and consideration of reliability further adds to the complexity, which may involve …

Cities around the world are increasingly involved in climate action and mitigating
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, in the context of responding to climate …

Previous research has demonstrated that there are significant trade-offs between the
competing objectives of minimizing costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for water …
