There is an increasing demand to enhance infrastructure asset management within the
drinking water sector. A key factor for achieving this is improving the accuracy of pipe failure …

This paper investigates the problem of integrating optimal pressure management and self-
cleaning controls in dynamically adaptive water distribution networks. We review existing …

Cast iron pipes have been extensively utilised in water supply networks worldwide. Many of
these pipes are either at the onset or within their wear-out phase, during which failure rates …

The ε-constraint method is a well-known scalarization technique used for multiobjective
optimization. We explore how to properly define the step size parameter of the method in …

Abstract Optimal Experiment Design for parameter estimation in water networks has been
traditionally formulated to maximize either hydraulic model accuracy or spatial coverage …

This study investigates a design-for-control (DfC) problem formulation for the joint
minimization of pressure-induced leakage, maximization of resilience, and minimization of …

Abstract Control of Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) is a well-researched domain due to
its societal relevance. WDNs can be operated in the continuous or discrete mode using …

This paper proposes a new method to identify the near-optimal response to failures in water
distribution networks in near real time. The response method is formulated as a two …

We present a branch-and-bound method for multiobjective mixed-integer convex quadratic
programs that computes a superset of efficient integer assignments and a coverage of the …

In England and Wales, water utilities reduce hydraulic pressure to a minimum regulatory
threshold in order to reduce leakage and avoid financial penalties. However, utilities are not …
