These proceedings of the International Water Conference (Montfort University, Leicester, September 2001) reflect the current and future roles of modeling and optimization in the description and management of water industry systems. Balanced views of academic and industry experts from around the world are included in the two volumes of papers. Insights are provided into the experience of leading researchers and practitioners in applying modeling and optimization to the management of water quantity and quality.
The book discusses optimal planning and design covering water resources, network distribution and waste-water treatment; analysis and simulation methods for hydraulics, reliability, cost and quality operations; measurements systems and analysis methods for deriving component values and evaluating overall systems performance; management, control and cost optimization using integrated decision and management systems; future directions of research and applications; industrial and case study applications of some integrated computer systems; and recent developments in research and associated computer packages.
