The optimization of water networks supports the decision‐making process by identifying the
optimal trade‐off between costs and performance (eg, resilience and leakage). A major …

Urban water management is increasingly important given the need to maintain water
resources that comply with global and local standards of quantity and quality. The effective …

Traditional urban water management relies on central organised infrastructure, the most
important being the drainage network and the water distribution network. To meet upcoming …

This paper focuses on the generation of synthetic models of water distribution networks
(WDN). Models are widely used in many fields related with WDN planning and operation …

Future climatic, demographic, technological, urban and socio-economic challenges call for
more flexible and sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems. Exploratory modelling can …

Accurate maps of wastewater networks in cities are mandatory for an integrated
management of water resources. However, in many countries around the world this …

Land use and different scales of spatial data aggregation are important for integrated urban
water modelling. Inadequacy of land use classification in such models, however, prompted …

With global change bringing about greater challenges for the resilient planning and
management of urban water infrastructure, research has been invested in the development …

Approaches in water distribution analyses are usually tested on one or a few benchmark
systems (before they are applied to real systems). On the one hand, this makes findings …

Many different aspects of water distribution systems have been in the focus of optimization.
One aspect is the multi-objective design of the pipe network, resulting in a set of trade off …
