Abstract
Water Supply Systems (WSS) are clearly dynamical systems. Processes associated with WSS include design, planning, maintenance, control, management, rehabilitation, enlargement, etc. Modeling and simulation of these processes can be performed by using a number of variables and constraints that are non-negative in nature. Demands, diameters of pipes, flowrates, minimum pressure at demand nodes, volume of reservoirs, are only a few examples, taken from the purely technical context. In this paper we will focus on the design of WSS. This a mixed discrete-continuous constrained optimization problem that is addressed here by the use of an evolutionary technique based on swarm intelligence. Robustness is enforced by adding reliability to the system both to cope with abnormal conditions and by considering the likelihood of different state and load conditions. Application to a real-world problem is also provided.
