Additional information

Following the demonstration in this paper of the computational efficiency and robustness of the EPANET-PDX solution algorithm (DOI 10.1007/s11269-011-9968-x), the US Environmental Protection Agency (Dr Lewis Rossman, Rossman.Lewis@epamail.epa.gov) extended the functionality of EPANET (a public-domain, water distribution system modelling software used worldwide) to include pressure-deficient operating conditions.

On the significantly more complex Anytown Network benchmark problem, the optimization algorithm proposed in this article achieved multiple solutions that are operationally superior to and up to 2.6% cheaper than the best solution in the literature (evidence available in WDSA 2011 proceedings http://dx.doi.org/10.1061/41203(425)9).
