 note = {Recent advances in data analysis techniques have been attracting an increasing amount of attention from industry persons who operate complex social infrastructures. In this paper, we present our experience in using mathematical programming techniques to achieve energy efficient operations in a large-scale water distribution network. Our study mainly considers two issues. The first is how to achieve a stable water supply in the face of uncertain water demand while avoiding the occurrence of a water failure. The second is how to determine both water distribution and pump operations simultaneously in order to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. To address these issues, we propose a mathematical optimization solution under physical and operational constraints. It results in a stable water supply and fine-grain pump operations. Finally, with respect to a large-scale real water distribution network, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of energy consumption., Recent advances in data analysis techniques have been attracting an increasing amount of attention from industry persons who operate complex social infrastructures.
