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

Water distribution networks are vital hydraulic infrastructures, essential for providing
consumers with sufficient water of appropriate quality. The cost of construction, operation …

Climate change affects water demand and supply and causes more severe droughts and
floods. To meet the increasing water demand and to prepare for the exacerbating climate …

In many areas, such as mobile robots, video games and driverless vehicles, path planning
has always attracted researchers' attention. In the field of mobile robotics, the path planning …

Several evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been suggested in the last three decades for the
least-cost design of water distribution networks (WDNs). EAs generally worked well to …

Abstract The Water Distribution Networks Design Problem study is widespread in the
scientific community due to its practical applicability. In this work, a sequential evolutionary …

In this work, we put forward a new algorithm for minimizing the total cost of gravity-fed water
distribution networks (WDN) by optimally choosing pipe diameters. Our approach is based …

Simulating hydraulic transients in ultra-long water (oil, gas) transmission or large-scale
distribution systems are time-consuming, and exploring ways to improve the simulation …

To have an efficient water distribution network, optimal design alternatives need to be
identified and analysed using combined hydraulic modelling and optimization. This paper …

Water pipeline monitoring system becomes a relevant solution to cope with various pipeline
hydraulic failures in order to save the environment from water losses. In this respect …
