| Abstract | In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), a very well established evolutionary optimization technique, is applied to different problems of industrial interest in the Water Industry. The design of both Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems, the calibration of a network and the identification and detection of leaks can be easily addressed by means of PSO. Originally designed to deal with continuous variables, the PSO derivative we consider here overcomes two typical features of this optimization technique. For one thing, it is adapted to consider mixed integer-continuous optimization since the problems we tackle here involve the use of both continuous and discrete variables. For the other, one of the main drawbacks associated with PSO comes from the fact that it is difficult to keep good levels of population diversity and to balance local and global searches. This formulation is able to find optimum or near-optimum solutions much more efficiently and with considerably less computational effort because of the richer population diversity it introduces. Needing a low number of generations is a major advantage in real water distribution or wastewater systems, where costs and time constraints prohibit repeated runs of the algorithm and hydraulic evaluations. The performance of the variant herein proposed is investigated by applying the model (i) to the design of two water distribution networks, which are already traditional benchmark problems in the literature, namely the Hanoi new water distribution network and the New York Tunnel water supply system; (ii) to the design of a wastewater network and (iii) to the calibration and identification of leaks in a water distribution network. The obtained results show considerable improvements regarding both convergence characteristics and the quality of the final solutions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
