Abstract
ABSTRACT When designing a sewer system, the goal is to find the design with the lowest cost while complying with the hydraulic constraints. However, with the emergence of new concerns like climate change and high-density urbanization, those designs must also be reliable and resilient. This is the objective of the present research, to provide an approach for finding low-cost, sewer networks design while considering the reliability and the resilience as a criterion in the selection of the best design. For that purpose, a method is proposed for evaluating resilience and reliability in a variety of designs produced by modifying the objective function of the network’s layout selection model. The methodology was tested in four scenarios using two cost equations and two sewer network benchmarks from the literature. In most of the scenarios, it was possible to find designs with lower cost and higher resilience and reliability than those previously published.
期刊介绍:
Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system''s thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management.
Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include:
network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation;
novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system;
demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control;
stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management;
monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater;
water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure);
resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing;
data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems;
decision-support and informatic tools;...
