The Least Cost Design of Water Distribution Networks Using Water Quality Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Water quality is a very important issue related to people health, but it is not usually considered in water distribution networks (WDNs) design. In this paper, new constraints such as free residual chlorine and the quality performance index are incorporated into the least cost design of water distribution networks. EPANET2 was applied for the hydraulic and quality analysis of water distribution networks. GA was also used to solve the optimization problem. The method was evaluated using a well-known test network. Results showed that inclusion of quality constraints leads to a higher cost. In addition, sensitivity analysis of velocity constraints showed that hydraulic and quality constraints are required for the least cost design of WDNs. On the other hand, the optimum design should satisfy the design criteria at both the start and end of the design period.

BIG BANG – BIG CRUNCH ALGORITHM FOR LEAST-COST DESIGN OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
The Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB–BC) method is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm which inspired by one of the theories of the evolution of universe. In the BB–BC optimization algorithm, firstly random points are produced in the Big Bang phase then these points are shrunk to a single representative point via a center of mass or minimal cost approach in the Big Crunch phase. In this paper, the...
متن کاملOptimal cost design of water distribution networks using harmony search
This study presents a cost minimization model for the design of water distribution networks. The model uses a recently developed harmony search optimization algorithm while satisfying all the design constraints. The harmony search algorithm mimics a jazz improvisation process in order to find better design solutions, in this case pipe diameters in a water distribution network. The model also in...

Assessment of water quality in Blinaja River Basin (Kosovo) using the Canadian Water Quality Index (WQI)
Kosovo has limited natural water resources which should be well managed. This is recently realised through quantitative and qualitative monitoring of both surface and groundwater and by characterizing their quality according to their destination. In this paper, the Water Quality Index (WQI) developed by the Canadian Council of Environment Ministers (CCME WQI) was applied to evaluate the groundw...
