Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban and Rural Development
“Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban and Rural Development” offers some of the latest international scientific and practitioner findings around the adaptation of urban, rural and transportation infrastructures to climate change by sustainable water management. This book addresses the main gaps in the up-to-date literature and provides the reader with a holistic view, ranging from a strategic and multiscale planning, implementation and decision-making angle down to the engineering details for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green stormwater techniques such as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and stormwater control measures (SCMs). This book is p...

Water-Wise Cities and Sustainable Water Systems
Building water-wise cities is a pressing need nowadays in both developed and developing countries. This is mainly due to the limitation of the available water resources and aging infrastructure to meet the needs of adapting to social and environmental changes and for urban liveability. This is the first book to provide comprehensive insights into theoretical, systematic, and engineering aspects of water-wise cities with a broad coverage of global issues. The book aims to (1) provide a theoretical framework of water-wise cities and associated sustainable water systems including key concepts and principles, (2) provide a brand-new thinking on the design and management of sustainable urban water systems of various scales towards a paradigm shift under the resource and environmental constraints, and (3) provide a technological perspective with successful case studies of technology selection, integration, and optimization on the “fit-for-purpose” basis.
AI 2023: Advances in Artificial Intelligence
This two-volume set LNAI 14471-14472 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 36th Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AI 2023, held in Brisbane, QLD, Australia during November 28 – December 1, 2023. The 23 full papers presented together with 59 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 213 submissions. They are organized in the following topics: computer vision; deep learning; machine learning and data mining; optimization; medical AI; knowledge representation and NLP; explainable AI; reinforcement learning; and genetic algorithm..
Advances in Water Distribution Networks
The Special Issue on Advances in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) explores four important topics of research in the framework of WDNs, namely simulation and optimization modelling, topology and partitioning, water quality, and service effectiveness. With regard to the first topic, the following aspects are addressed: pressure-driven formulations, algorithms for the optimal location of control valves to minimize leakage, the benefits of water discharge prediction for the remote real time control of valves, and transients generated by pumps operating as turbines. In the context of the second topic, a topological taxonomy of WDNs is presented, and partitioning methods for the creation of district metered areas are compared. In relation to the third topic, the vulnerability to trihalomethane is assessed, and a statistical optimization model to minimize heavy metal releases is presented. Finally, the fourth topic focusses on the estimation of non-revenue water, including leakage and unauthorized consumption, and on the assessment of service under intermittent supply conditions.
Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization, EMO 2021 held in Shenzhen, China, in March 2021. The 47 full papers and 14 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions. The papers are divided into the following topical sections: theory; algorithms; dynamic multi-objective optimization; constrained multi-objective optimization; multi-modal optimization; many-objective optimization; performance evaluations and empirical studies; EMO and machine learning; surrogate modeling and expensive optimization; MCDM and interactive EMO; and applications.
Advances in Energy Materials and Environment Engineering

The Equitably Resilient City
Twelve global planning and urban design interventions—and what they reveal about equity-centered urban resilience in the face of climate change. Hillside favelas in South America imperiled by landslides. Flood-threatened mobile home parks on the American Gulf Coast. Canal-side settlements facing eviction in megacities in Southeast Asia. Too often the places most vulnerable to climate change are the ones that are home to people with the fewest economic and political resources. And while some leaders are starting to take action to reduce climate risks, many early adaptation schemes have actually made preexisting inequalities worse. In The Equitably Resilient City, Zachary Lamb and Lawrence V...
