These options were alternative mechanisms for imposing minimum water efficiency standards on the fixtures and appliances within buildings. The study demonstrates how both residential and non-residential sub-sectors can be modelled, using demographic and industry forecasts and other available data sources, using an end-use/stock modelling approach. Specifically, the study modelled the expected water, energy and GHG savings from potential minimum water efficiency standards for plumbing products and appliances in homes and business in Australia. It discusses the relative merits of mechanisms for implementing the proposed minimum standards via: a sustainable building planning measure – such as the Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) in New South Wales; the Australian Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme; or via plumbing regulations within the National Construction Code (NCC). The paper concludes that as well as being a useful mechanism for imposing minimum standards in itself, a star-rating system such as WELS offers advantages in developing and modelling water efficiency policy options. The approach described can support decision-making on policies that improve water efficiency across building types.","PeriodicalId":509977,"journal":{"name":"Water Supply","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140764985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that (1) the combined action of reservoir level variation and rainfall has a significant influence on the stability of multistage sliding ancient landslides. (2) The sliding force calculated by the improved transfer coefficient method is smaller than the calculation result by the traditional transfer coefficient method, and the residual sliding force is larger. The different sliding body stability coefficient is reduced by about 28.84, 18.13, 19.26, and 21.01%, respectively. (3) The stability results calculated by the traditional transfer coefficient are higher than the improved transfer coefficient method, which may lead to deviation in the multistage sliding ancient landslide stable state judgment. (4) This improved transfer coefficient method can provide a reference for the multistage sliding ancient landslides stability accurate evaluation in hydropower station reservoir area.","PeriodicalId":509977,"journal":{"name":"Water Supply","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140078625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meeting the surging needs for irrigation and water supply requires a departure from the limitations of single reservoir systems. Instead, the construction of multi-reservoir systems within semi-arid river basins is imperative. The research employs an integrated reservoir operation approach that facilitates the controlled release of surplus water from upstream reservoirs to downstream ones. The novel Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) model is utilized to determine optimal irrigation releases, subsequently forming the basis for evaluating reservoir operation performance through the lenses of reliability, resilience, and vulnerability. The findings of this study shed light on the performance of these reservoirs under different models. Notably, the Aji-2 reservoir operation exhibits higher levels of reliability and resilience when the TLBO model is employed, surpassing the outcomes of the Linear Programming (LP) model. Conversely, the vulnerability of the Aji-3 reservoir operation is more pronounced with the TLBO model, albeit reduced when compared to actual release years 2005, 2009, and 2013. This study adds to the development of reservoir operation policies that favor reduced vulnerability and increased reliability.","PeriodicalId":509977,"journal":{"name":"Water Supply","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140083881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
