Demand in a water distribution network (WDN) is an aleatory variable, owing to the
unpredictable behaviors of water users. Therefore, it is one of the main reasons for …

This article investigates the private sector participation in investment, management, and
operation in rural water supply schemes in Vietnam. Different organizations manage rural …

This paper presents a methodology to quantify and to locate leaks. The original contribution
is the use of a tool based on the TrustRank algorithm for the selection of nodes for pressure …

A large part of operating costs in urban water supply networks is usually due to energy use,
mostly in the form of electricity consumption. There is growing pressure to reduce energy …

In this paper a scenario-based robust optimization approach is proposed to take demand
uncertainty into account in the design of water distribution networks. This results in insight in …

In common studies on the groundwater intake reliability, suitable methods of statistical
interference are usually employed in order to use the analysis and modelling results in …

Water distribution systems, as an urban infrastructure, have an indisputable role in the
productivity of a society and the quality of life of its residents. It is necessary to develop …

A drinking water distribution system (DWDS) is a critical and a costly asset with a long
lifetime. Drinking water demand is likely to change in the coming decades. Quantifying these …

After analyzing existing pipeline-network design solutions in literature, the authors have
developed a novel framework model that considers important technical, financial, and …

This paper proposes a new approach to the design of natural gas network expansion under
load evolution uncertainty in a time horizon. A predefined network topology is assumed with …
