Allocation of the internal demand in a line to the end nodes of the line
may help reduce the size of the mathematical model of a water distribution network
(WDN). Such a reduction is desirable as it allows hydraulic ...
Urban water supply is a high priority service and so looped networks are extensively used in order to considerably reduce the number of consumers affected by a failure. Looped networks may be redundant in connectivity and ...

[EN] This document is intended to be a presentation of session ST36 of CMN2017,
placing this session in the appropriate context to understand its motivation and guide its
content. The circumstances that occurred in 2016 ...
[EN] We propose a methodological tool for examining the layout and revealing the concealed characteristics of urban water supply systems (WSS). For this purpose, we use underground images obtained with ground penetrating ...
Optimal design of water distribution systems
(WDS), including the sizing of components, quality control,
reliability, renewal and rehabilitation strategies, etc., is a
complex problem in water engineering that requires ...

[EN] Dealing with real world engineering problems, often comes with facing multiple and conflicting
objectives and requirements. Water distributions systems (WDS) are not exempt from this: while
cost and hydraulic performance ...
This paper uses a multi-agent approach as a quick and easy tool for the interpretation and
analysis of the characteristics of Water Supply System (WSS) components when working
on a collection of Ground Penetrating Radar ...
