of demands in water distribution systems.

2. Real time control of combined sewer overflows, urban drainage and sewerage systems.

3. Water quality modelling and control in drinking water distribution systems including
disinfection by-products.

4. Development and application of practical evolutionary optimization algorithms for routine

use in the water industry.

5. Pressure-dependent modelling of water distribution systems from theory to practice.

6. Investigation of guidelines for the rational design and operation of intermittent water supply
systems.
