Reservoir operation rules are logical or mathematical equations that take into account system variables to calculate water release from a reservoir based on inflow and storage volume values. In fact, previous experiences of the system are used to balance reservoir system parameters in each...

Routing is a technique used to simulate and predict changes in water flow along a river or channel. There are several hydraulic flow routing methods that model channel flow with high accuracy using lots of data related to channel geometry and specifications, thus making calculations very...

Cha et al. (Water Resources Management, 26(18):4183–4201 <CitationRef CitationID="CR3">2012</CitationRef>) improved the method used to measure the vulnerability of a reservoir water supply that arises due to water scarcity in a dry season. Water supply vulnerability is expected to increase due to climate change. The authors showed that...</citationref>

Reservoir operation policy depends on specific values of deterministic variables and predictable actions as well as stochastic variables, in which small differences affect water release and reservoir operation efficiency. Operational rule curves of reservoir are policies which relate water...

The widespread investigations on water resources management has become an essential issue because due to lack of sufficient research and inattention to planning and management of conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. The conjunctive management is a suitable alternative for imbalanced water...

A water distiller/condenser system by radiative cooling of ambient air is designed. A mathematical model is proposed to describe the thermal performance of the radiative distiller. The results of the mathematical model predicts condensation rates within the range 3–7 litre/m2 night. Also, the...

The design of new water distribution networks (WDNs) is an important social problem. Failures during an operational period provoke deficits in consumption nodes thus decreasing the performance of the network. WDN performance can be defined as the ability to sufficiently secure demand and...

The design of water distribution networks (WDNs) is an optimization problem with minimization of pipes and their associated installation costs as the objective function. In this problem, securing the allowable minimum pressure or the allowable maximum velocity in the demand pattern is important....
