Problems with multiple objectives arise in a natural fashion in most disciplines and their
solution has been a challenge to researchers for a long time. Despite the considerable …

This article reviews research on the application of economic concepts and tools to the
analysis of the preservation, conservation, development, consumption, supply and allocation …

This paper addresses the problem of optimal pressure management in water distribution
systems through the introduction and regulation of pressure reducing valves. Reduction in …

This chapter presents a brief review of some of the most relevant research currently taking
place in evolutionary multiobjective optimization. The main topics covered include …

Water distribution systems play a vital role in the transportation of drinking water. By the
combination of traditional literature review, bibliometric analysis and scientific knowledge …

The optimization of looped water distribution networks (WDN) implies achieving the best
tradeoff between reliability and cost. Many works have dealt with minimizing the cost, but few …

Climate change has made environmental impact a factor of growing importance in decision
making for municipalities. Increasingly, the environmental impacts of expanding and …

In this research, a significant improvement in reservoir operation was achieved using a state-
of-the-art evolutionary algorithm named Borg MOEA. A real-world multipurpose dam was …

The design of large scale water distribution systems is a very difficult optimisation problem
which invariably requires the use of time-expensive simulations within the fitness function …

Steady-state flow of an incompressible fluid in parallel pipes can simultaneously satisfy two
contradictory extremum principles in the entropy production, depending on the flow …
