Water supply systems are essential for a modern society. This article presents an overview
of the latest research related to information and communication technology systems for …

Recently enacted regulations in Canada and elsewhere require water utilities to be
financially self-sustaining over the long-term. This implies full cost recovery for providing …

Many subsystems are involved in the reliability modeling of combined heat and power
(CHP) systems, but in most studies these subsystems have not been classified and in many …

The methods for water loss management should be selected based on the needs, economy,
applicability and current condition. Therefore, it is very important to develop a model that …

This paper develops causal loop diagrams and a system dynamics model for financially
sustainable management of urban water distribution networks. The developed causal loop …

The main objective of this work is to develop a comprehensive criteria-based multi-attribute
decision-making model to plan the rehabilitation of water networks. Among the main …

Water supply and sewer networks are critical infrastructures that provide a basic service to
society. However, these systems constantly age and degrade over time. In addition, since …

This paper presents a case for adopting agent-based modeling (ABM) as a framework for
representing the complex interactions that occur within the context of urban infrastructure …

Water transmission and distribution systems are critical urban infrastructure. The aging of
water mains can lead to increased breakage rate, decreased hydraulic capacity, and …

A major problem with currently existing database systems is that there often does not exist a
conceptual understanding of the data. Such an understanding can be obtained by …
