This poster paper's objective was to improve water systemtransmission, distribution,storage and pumpingcapacities at the Gwinnett County Water Distribution System to address lowpressure and fire protectionproblems identified in thehydraulic model simulationsfor 2010, 2020 and 2030. The experimental approach to the optimizationproblem was to utilize an integer-codedgenetic algorithm coupled with theEPANET dynamic link library (DLL) called ENCOMS. ENCOMS is an adaptive optimization software package poweredby the use of genetic algorithms and hydraulicmodeling and has the following capabilities: automate sizing of new and parallel pipes;compare hundreds of thousands of solutions in anorganized and efficient way;improve confidence by expanding design options;maintain flexibility in defining boundary conditions; and,identify superior design alternatives at greatestsaving.
