A heuristic method for the optimal design of water distribution systems

The water distribution system design problem consists of finding a minimum cost combination of network layout and sizes of system components so as to satisfy flow demands, minimum and maximum head requirements and a reliability criterion. A two step procedure is proposed to find a near optimal desig...
