Water Engineering

Many cities around the world are facing considerable pressure to cope with urban development, sustaining economic growth and providing basic living conditions. Urban infrastructure is aging and uncontrolled urbanization leads to considerable pressure on economic resources. Hence there is a need for ..

This book presents the development and applications of various methods based on probability and fuzzy set theories for modelling uncertainty in flood forecasting systems...

Presenting current knowledge in the field of mudflows, this informative book (part of the IAHR Monograph Series) includes both rheological mudflow aspects, and information on mudflow characteristics in open channels...

This book introduces a framework to deal with multicriteria decision making for the rehabilitation of urban drainage systems, and focuses on several aspects such as the improvement of the performance of the multicriteria optimization through the inclusion of new features in the algorithms and the pr..

A practical guide to planning, designing, and implementing municipal sewage sludge management projects this textbook explains and discusses many of the unit operations used for processing municipal sewage sludge. It also contains valuable information on the available methods for final disposition of..

The thesis presents novel algorithms for optimal reservoir operation, named nested DP (nDP), nested SDP (nSDP), nested reinforcement learning (nRL) and their multi-objective (MO) variants, correspondingly MOnDP, MOnSDP and MOnRL. The idea is to include a nested optimization algorithm into each state..
