Optimization of Branched Water Distribution Systems by Means of a Physarum—Inspired Algorithm

Optimizing water distribution systems is an essential part of water resources allocation planning. It leads to challenging combinatorial optimization problems, for which meta-heuristics have been applied, notably genetic algorithms and ant colony optimization. The present paper introduces the applic...
