Abstract
This study uses genetic algorithms (GAs), a relatively new approach to optimization, to refine roughness values of pipes and demand values associated with nodes in a network. The approach is used to obtain more precise hydraulic calibration of an existing network. The methodology introduced here uses field measurements of fluoride of an existing network in the U.S. as the basis for calculation of network model parameters such as roughness of pipes and nodal demands.
