Graph theory (GT) and complex network theory play an increasingly important role in the design, operation, and management of water distribution networks (WDNs) and these tasks were originally often heavily dependent on hydraulic models. Facing the ge...
Ensuring the safety and reliability of drinking water supply requires accurate prediction of water quality in water distribution networks (WDNs). However, existing hydraulic model-based approaches for system state prediction face challenges in model ...
The reduction of water leakage is essential for ensuring sustainable and resilient water supply systems. Despite recent investments in sensing technologies, pipe leakage remains a significant challenge for the water sector, particularly in developed ...
Successfully addressing the complex global sanitation problem is a massive undertaking. Anaerobic digestion (AD), coupled with post-treatment, has been identified as a promising technology to contribute to meeting this goal. It offers multiple benefi...
Localizing leakages in large water distribution systems is an important and ever-present problem. Due to the complexity originating from water pipeline networks, too few sensors, and noisy measurements, this is a highly challenging problem to solve. ...
Representing reality in a numerical model is complex. Conventionally, hydraulic models of water distribution networks are a tool for replicating water supply system behaviour through simulation by means of approximation of physical equations. A calib...

Supply of water is one of the most significant determinants of regional crop production and human food security. To promote sustainable management of agricultural water, the crop water requirement assessment (CropWRA) model was introduced as a tool f...
This paper explores the use of 'conditional convolutional generative adversarial networks' (CDCGAN) for image-based leak detection and localization (LD&L) in water distribution networks (WDNs). The method employs pressure measurements and is based on...
As hydroenergetic losses are inherent to water supply systems, they are a frequent issue which water utilities deal with every day. The control of network pressure is essential to reducing these losses, providing a quality supply to consumers, saving...
