Contamination source identification in water distribution network has got serious attention
during last two decades, especially in developed countries. The same effort is almost absent …

The water distribution network (WDN) is the most vulnerable part of a water system due to
the large number of access points, requiring a reliable monitoring and surveillance system to …

Parameter identification or estimation is important to model simulations. This paper firstly
carried out a sensitivity analysis of a water quality model using the Monte Carlo method …

Water pollution is one of the major problems in providing and preserving water resources, so
identifying the pollution source plays a critical role in regulation actions. Thus, this paper …

This paper proposes the application of a new version of the heuristic particle swarm
optimization (PSO) method for designing water distribution networks (WDNs). The …

This study investigates the application of heuristic algorithms on groundwater pumping
source identification problem. Unknown groundwater extraction site is located by analyzing …

Genetic Algorithms have been applied in solving various complex engineering optimization
problems. This chapter presented the application of Genetic Algorithms in identifying …

Pollution accidents that occur in surface waters, especially in drinking water source areas,
greatly threaten the urban water supply system. During water pollution source localization …

Accidental or intentional contamination in a water distribution system (WDS) has recently
attracted attention due to the potential hazard to public health and the complexity of the …

In the present study, the optimal placement contamination warning systems (CWSs) in water
distribution systems (WDSs) was investigated. To this end, we developed a novel …
