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 …

This paper presents the state-of-the-art approaches to energy (electricity) and hydraulic
efficiency and conservation in conventional water supply systems, providing an overview of …

Water distribution networks are crucial for supplying consumers with quality and adequate
water. A water distribution system comprises connected hydraulic components which ensure …

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

Water distribution systems, where flow in some pipes is not measured or storage tanks are
connected together, calculation of demand pattern coefficients of the network is difficult …

In this paper, five models based on evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are introduced and
compared for the optimization of the design and rehabilitation of water distribution networks …

Pipelines have traditionally been recognized as the most cost-effective and safe mode for
transporting natural gas. However, since a tremendous amount of gas is transported through …

This paper presents a memetic algorithm with hybrid node and edge histogram (MANEH) to
solve no-idle permutation flow shop scheduling problem (NIPFSP) with the criterion to …

Numerous metaheuristic optimization algorithms are used for optimal design of water
distribution networks. Each algorithm shows dissimilar characteristics depending on the …

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