However, when dealing with large-scale WDS optimization, issues such as premature convergence become a concern. This paper presents an auto-enhanced population diversity and ranking selection-based differential evolutionary (AEPD-RSDE) algorithm for the optimal design of WDSs, which is the first work that incorporates an AEPD strategy to avoid the premature convergence issue and enhance the exploration ability of DE applied to WDS optimization. Besides, the proposed algorithm includes a ranking selection strategy that replaces the tournament selection operator to enhance the convergence speed. Three well-known WDSs, i.e., the New York Tunnels (NYT), the Hanoi network (HAN), and the Balerma irrigation network (BIN), were used to validate the proposed algorithm. Results indicate the proposed algorithm is able to find the current best solution with a success rate of 100% for the NYT and HAN cases and a lower average cost solution of €1.924 million for the BIN case relative to other EAs. Instead of solely focusing on ultimate performance comparison, search behavior analyses are conducted between different mutation and selection operators, offering a deep insight to guide the development of more advanced EAs.","PeriodicalId":34693,"journal":{"name":"AQUA-Water Infrastructure Ecosystems and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76506302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to prevent secondary pipe bursts by addressing the propagation of water hammer waves triggered by primary pipe bursts. Based on an analysis of pipe burst incidents and considering different pipe laying methods, air valve arrangement criteria are developed to mitigate the risk of secondary bursts in LGWSS pipelines. The principal results include a reasonable mathematical analysis model for understanding pipe bursts in buried pipes and the determination of air valve arrangement criteria which considers potentially dangerous pressure variations resulting from primary pipe bursts. This model aims to mitigate the adverse effects of pipe bursts and minimize the likelihood of secondary bursts. Implementing the proposed criteria has important engineering applications, thus improving the reasonable and effective placement of air valves to prevent secondary pipe bursts in LGWSSs. The conclusions derived from this study have significant engineering applications, particularly as these pertain to the optimization of the placement of air valves to enhance the resilience and reliability of LGWSSs. By implementing the proposed air valve arrangement criteria, water supply systems can minimize the potential damage caused by pipe bursts and improve overall operational efficiency.","PeriodicalId":34693,"journal":{"name":"AQUA-Water Infrastructure Ecosystems and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83006501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After that, three configurations including: conventional stepped, trapezoidal-labyrinth, and rectangular-labyrinth were modeled using the OpenFOAM model for the skimming flow regime. For simulation, InterFOAM solver and RNG k–ε turbulence model were used. The results showed an increase of 34.7 and 21.1% in energy dissipation in the trapezoidal and rectangular stepped–labyrinth spillways compared to the conventional stepped type, for dc/h = 1.45 (the range of dc is between 8 and 14.5 cm). The flow velocity in the end step of the trapezoidal- and rectangular-labyrinth configuration is reduced by 50.5 and 31.1%, respectively. Furthermore, in the trapezoidal configuration, a 14.7% reduction in flow velocity has been achieved compared to the rectangular stepped–labyrinth configuration. The results showed that the minimum pressure on the vertical faces of the steps occurred in their upper half and the rectangular configuration has resulted in the highest amount of negative pressure.

The eutrophication levels of the Roodeplaat Dam (RD) have been a cause for concern since the early 1980s, in order to manage this eutrophication, an integrated approach, involving local communities in the management of water resources is necessary. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to understand the community perspectives on the function and management of the RD and its tributaries. The results of the study showed that in terms of community perceptions, highly educated people tend to qualify the quality of water as very bad and their perceptions of the potential effects of poor water quality were correlated to gender. People's satisfaction level with the current management plan was negatively correlated to employment status. Surprisingly, the communities’ involvement in the management and use of water resources in the Roodeplaat Catchment Area was correlated to their ethnicity. On the basis of these findings, a few recommendations were proposed for the effective management of the RD and its inflowing rivers.","PeriodicalId":34693,"journal":{"name":"AQUA-Water Infrastructure Ecosystems and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77629925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thematic maps representing drainage density, elevation, soil, geomorphology, slope, land use and land cover, and rainfall are used to delineate the GWPZs. Both techniques are employed to assign weights to these thematic maps based on their characteristics and water potential. The study revealed that in the investigated area, 17.76 and 18.27% of the final GWPZs (AHP and Fuzzy-AHP) can be classified as having poor potential, while 72.79 and 71.07% are categorized as having moderate potential. Moreover, 9.45 and 10.69% of the final GWPZs are identified as having high potential using the AHP and Fuzzy-AHP models, respectively. Receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) analysis is employed to validate these findings, demonstrating that the Fuzzy-AHP technique achieves an accuracy of 74% in identifying GWPZs in the region.

Additionally, previous studies also highlighted the issues of rectangular baffle blocks, i.e., less drag, smaller wake zone, and flow reattachment. On the contrary, the use of wedge-shaped splitter blocks is found limited downstream of diversion barrages. Therefore, this study focuses on the hydraulic effects of wedge-shaped splitter blocks on hydraulic jump (HJ) and energy dissipation using FLOW-3D and confirms its suitability downstream of the diversion barrage. The study mainly investigated the free surface profiles, roller lengths, relative energy losses, velocity profiles, and turbulent kinetic energies for three different stilling basins. The results of free surface profiles indicated that new basins stabilised the HJ and produced smaller lengths of HJ. The results also showed that as the flow increased, the roller lengths decreased in the new basins. Similarly, with an increase in the flow, the relative energy loss increased in new basins. Furthermore, within HJ, and at the basins' end, the results showed higher decay of velocity and turbulent kinetic energy in the new basins.","PeriodicalId":34693,"journal":{"name":"AQUA-Water Infrastructure Ecosystems and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89053160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At 50 ppm, the maximum adsorption has been observed and it showed 93% removal by the KMnO4 modification and 86% by HNO3 modification, whereas simple biochar led to 82% removal only. The adsorption pattern follows the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order model. With characterization techniques, it has been confirmed that the KMnO4-modified forms of biochar showed more adsorption capacity than HNO3-modified and simple biochar. Furthermore, to check its practical applicability, the modified forms of biochar have been applied to the wastewater collected from Banaras locomotive works, Bhagwanpur, and Lohta sites of Varanasi city, UP, India. Again, the maximum adsorption of Cd2+ has been observed with KMnO4 modification (92–95%) at all the sites. This result also confirmed that KMnO4 was the best modifying agent over HNO3.
