Data Mining For Design Flood Prediction, James E. Ball
Data Mining For Design Flood Prediction, James E. Ball
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Design flood estimation remains a problem for many professionals involved in the management of rural and urban catchments. Advice is required regarding design flood characteristics for many design problems including the design of culverts and bridges necessary for cross drainage of transport routes, the design of urban drainage systems, the design of flood mitigation levees and other flood mitigation structures, design of dam spillways, and many environmental flow problems. When a risk based approach is adopted as the design paradigm, there is a need to predict both the magnitude of the hazard and the exceedance probability of the hazard. In …
Comparison Of Various Phased Approaches For The Constrained Minimum-Cost Design Of Water Distribution Networks, Enrico Creaco, Marco Franchini, Tom Walski
Comparison Of Various Phased Approaches For The Constrained Minimum-Cost Design Of Water Distribution Networks, Enrico Creaco, Marco Franchini, Tom Walski
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
This work is aimed at analyzing and comparing three different phased approaches for constrained minimum-cost design of water distribution networks: the single-step design with demand feedback, the multi-step design without demand feedback and the multi-step design with demand feedback. The difference between the single-step design and the multi-step design lies in the fact that whereas the former entails optimizing a single construction step at a time, i.e. the current construction phase, the latter is based on the phasing of construction and then is aimed at optimizing the current construction phase and all the subsequent phases, included inside a certain temporal …

A New Methodology For The Design Of Residential Water Distribution Networks And Its Population Range Of Application., Daniel Vallejo, Juan Guillermo Saldarriaga, Diego Alejandro Páez, Santiago Serrano
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
For the design of a Water Distribution Systems (WDS) or for Residential Water Networks (RWN) different assumptions have to be made. This implies that the design methodologies for each of the two kinds of networks differ between them and so it is important to define a population value that limits the applicability of each method. This paper will present a new methodology for the RWN’s design process as well as the calculation the population limit. For designing the RWN demands’ predictions have to be made. The new methodology uses the concept of Poisson Rectangular Pulses (PRP) for modeling the water …
