Reservoir evaporation losses can be high in semiarid areas with high evaporative demand. The volume of water evaporated from a reservoir is a function of the free water surface area. In agricultural reservoirs this water surface varies depending on the volume of water stored. As reservoirs are...

Traditionally, the optimal design of water distrubution networks has been dealt with using single-objective constrained approaches, where the aim is to minimize the network investment cost while maintaining minimum pressure head constraints at all nodes. However, in the last decade some authors...
