Climate changes, especially its impacts on temperature, precipitation and evaporation, have large effects on water resources. In recent years, water authorities in Australia imposed various water demand management strategies including mandatory water restriction to reduce water demand as the dam storage levels dropped quite low due to the prolonged droughts which affected the country for about ...

Many water resources systems are characterized by multiple objectives. For multiobjective optimization, typically there can be no single optimal solution which can simultaneously satisfy all the goals, but rather a set of technologically efficient noninferior or Pareto optimal solutions exists. Generating those Pareto optimal solutions is a challenging task and often difficulties arise in using...

Water is a basic demand of sustainable development in most regions of the world. The non-uniform temporal and spatial distribution of water resources will lead to water shortage in arid and semi-arid areas. Pishin catchment is one of the most important catchments in South-East Iran. The basin had been faced with consecutive droughts in recent years. On the other hand, water resources developmen...

Artificial Immune System is applied to determine the optimal hourly schedule of power generation in a hydrothermal system. A multi-reservoir cascaded hydroelectric system with a nonlinear relationship between water discharge rate, net head and power generation is considered. The water transport delay between connected reservoirs is taken into account. The transmission losses are also taken into...

optimal allocation of water resources is an essential service in agriculture that must be considered by farmers. one of the most significant factors in optimal allocation of water resources in agriculture is to define optimal farm cropping pattern. in this study, in order to determine optimal cropping pattern and water resources allocation in central district of mashhad city (toos village), the...

The world is facing a more water constrained future as a result of urbanisation, population growth, industrialisation and the emergence of climate change. This has direct impacts on the resilience and performance of the energy and food industries, as water plays a key role in electricity generation processes and agriculture production. Water, energy and food dependencies are more evident in tra...

Nagesh Kumar (corresponding author) Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, India E-mail: [email protected] Optimal allocation of water resources for various stakeholders often involves considerable complexity with several conflicting go...

This paper is devoted to a recently running project with a purpose of getting some useful feedback from the interested community. The main point of the project is an attempt to apply approaches developed in the scope of the Ambient Intelligence area and usually implemented indoor (eg., intelligent homes) also in various fields suitable for largescale outdoor activities (esp. working) applicatio...
