[1] The potential and limitations of conjunctive use of surface and groundwater are explored for southern California’s water supply system. An economic-engineering network flow optimization model, CALVIN, is used to analyze the economic and reliability benefits from different conjunctive use alternatives. Flexible management of additional conjunctive use facilities and groundwater storage capac...

abstract- inadequate water supply is the major problem for agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions. thus, effective management should be considered for water resources planning. in this research, a model was provided which is able to estimate optimal land and water allocation in the doroodzan irrigation network. optimal water management model was used at farm level to evaluate different defic...

Abstract: Ensuring access to water and sanitation for all is Goal No. 6 of the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals to transform our world. As one step towards this goal, we present an approach that leverages remote sensing data to plan optimal water supply networks for informal urban settlements. The concept focuses on slums within large urban areas, which are often characterized by a lack o...

background: water resource management is a strategic issue in qom city. water scarcity is one of the most critical concerns of industrial estates. this study aimed to evaluate wastewater management in the shokuhieh industrial park of qom province in 2013. methods: this is a descriptive cross-sectional study done by visiting the industrial units in person, completing questionnaires and analyzing...

ABSTRACT: The requirements and basic components of a typical optimal control environment for water-supply pumping systems are presented and discussed. Examined model components include hydraulic network models, demand forecast models, and optimal control models. A review of existing optimal control methodologies for water-supply pumping systems is also provided. Examined methodologies are class...

The dynamic simulation and optimization of water supply networks contains various difficulties. One of them is that a classical modelling may yield singularities in the form of non-unique solutions. In [1], the application of singular value decomposition (SVD) is proposed in the context of water supply networks. Since the SVD of a matrix is computationally very expensive, we introduce an approa...

Southeastern Europe is known worldwide as classic karst terrain. In the Alpine orogenic belt the karstifi ed carbonate rocks are either dominant, as in the Dinarides, or widely distributed, as in the Carpathian-Balkans, Hellenides or Pindes. Concerning karstic groundwater resources, this region is by far the richest in all of Europe. Some areas, such as southern Montenegro, are characterized by...

In this paper, a reliability approach on reconfiguration decisions in a supply chain network is studied based on coupling the simulation concepts and artificial neural network. In other words, due to the limited budget for warehouse relocation in a supply chain, the failure probability is assessed for determining the robust decision for future supply chain configuration. Traditional solving ...

Known as one of the ten most important advances on Public Health in the 20th century, fluoridation of public water supply is a measure of wide population coverage, which is effective on caries control. The city of Araçatuba, in the Northwest region of the São Paulo state, Brazil, started public water supply fluoridation in 1972 and, based on the average annual highest temperature, has kept the ...
