Abstract
A reliability-based optimization model for water distribution systems has been developed to: design of the pipe network including the number, location and size of pumps and tanks; design of the pumping system using a reliability-based procedure considering both hydraulic failures and mechanical failures; and , determination of the optimal operation of the pumps. The optimization problem solved using a heuristic algorithm consisting of a master problem and a subproblem. The master problem is a pure 0-1 integer programming model and the subproblem, a large nonlinear programming model solved in am optimal control framework. (A)
