Hydraulic water distribution system (WDS) simulation models are widely used by planners,
water utility personnel, consultants and many others involved in analysis, design, operation …

This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing an isolation valve system and the
portions of a water distribution network (segments) directly isolated by valve closure …

The purpose of the research is to assess chlorine concentration in WDS using statistical
models based on ANN in combination with Monte-Carlo. This approach offers advantages in …

Water loss is a phenomenon frequently observed within water distribution systems (WDSs),
that is considerably worsened by an excessive pressure throughout the network. As an …

The nonlinear form of the Muskingum model has been widely applied to river flood routing.
There are four variants of the nonlinear Muskingum model based on alternative formulations …

abstract In this study Feed Forward Back propagation (FFBP) and Cascade Feed Forward
Back propagation (CFBP) algorithms have been compared for prediction of water quality in …

The optimization of chlorine dosage and the number of booster locations is an important
aspect of water quality management in distribution networks. Booster chlorination helps to …

Effective disinfection is essential for maintaining water quality standards in distribution
networks. Chlorination, as the most used technique, ensures safe water by maintaining …

Managing residual chlorine in large water distribution systems (WDS) to minimize human
health risk is a daunting task. In this research, a novel risk-based framework is developed …

Chlorine is the most widely used water disinfectant in the world. As a result, optimal chlorine
usage is essential for both human and environmental health. Chlorine decay models can be …
