Multi-species water quality models can be used to predict the fate and transport of contaminants such as arsenic in water distribution networks. In recent work, water quality models have been used to simulate hypothetical contamination events, estimate potential human health effects, and characterize the ability of sensors to detect contamination. Little work has been done to calibrate water qu...

Optimization algorithms have proven to be a useful tool in different areas of water resource management including distribution network (WDN), which may modelled as large scale, combinatorial problem subject constraints with the typical objective minimizing cost. In this study, fuzzy C-means adaptive differential evolution (FCADE) is proposed solve three well-known WDN problems: two-loop problem...

Providing safe and clean water is a concern responsibility of the local government unit (LGU) in Philippines. However, this great challenge to LGU because several factors such as availability supply, increasing population, low or no maintenance existing systems, lack engineering expertise. The general objective study come up with design development alternatives for Alubijid municipal supply sys...

For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...
