Abstract
Various optimization approaches have been proposed in the past three decades to address the design cost optimization problem of water distribution systems. However, recently, evolutionary algorithms have been preferred due to their ability to solve complex, nonlinear, and discrete optimization problems such as water distribution system design. This study proposes a hybrid model, HHG that integrates Grey Wolf Optimizer and Harris Hawk, which is linked with an EPANET hydraulic simulator to optimize the design cost of a water distribution system network. The HHG model’s performance is shown through three typical water distribution systems, namely the Two-loop network, Hanoi network and New York network. The results show that the HHG is a potential approach for solving water distribution system design costs with higher reliability, lower cost, and faster processing time than other conventional approaches.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
