A novel methodology to sectorize water supply networks (WSNs) depending on a main transmission
line is presented in this paper. The methodology is based on concepts derived from the social
network theory and graph theory ...
[EN] The core idea behind sectorization of water supply networks (WSNs) is to establish areas partially isolated from the rest of the network to improve operational control. Besides the benefits associated to sectorization, ...

[EN] Piped intermittent water supply bears numerous population health problems and may damage the network infrastructure. Thus, a transition to continuous supply is an option that must be studied. Nevertheless, many water ...
[EN] Intermittent supply is a common way of delivering water in many developing countries.
Limitations on water and economic resources, in addition to poor management and population
growth, limit the possibilities of ...
The flexibility introduced by evolutionary algorithms (EAs) has allowed the use of virtually arbitrary objective functions and constraints even when evaluations require, as for real-world problems, running complex mathematical ...

[EN] Water scarcity should not only be taken into account in its physical sense, but it should also be consideredin teh economic and poor management sense. This scenario provokes the application of intermittent water supply ...
The increasing pressure over water resources has raised the need
to establish procedures to efficiently manage water supply networks (WSN). An
example of such procedures is the sectorization of networks either by ...
[EN] Water supply systems have been facing many challenges in recent decades due to the potential effects of climate change and rapid population growth. Water systems need to expand because of demographic growth. Therefore, ...
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 ...
