Optimisation of water distribution systems using genetic algorithms for hydraulic and water quality issues / by Christopher Michael Hewitson.

Corrigenda pasted onto front end paper. / One folded col. map in pocket on back endpaper. / Bibliography: leaves 348-368. / xx, 368 leaves : ill. (some col.), maps (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / Develops a framework balancing water quality costs resulting from waterborne disease, disinfection by-product exposure and aesthetic concerns, against hydraulic costs, which include pipes, pumps and tanks. The genetic algorithms developed, successfully obtained the current optimal hydraulic solution, before adapting the model to incorporate water quality issues. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2000
