Optimal Cost Design of the Water Distribution Network Using the Meta-Heuristic Methods Original Article, C26 Daneshfaraz R. Journal. Civil Eng. Urban. 3(4):164-169. 2013 ABSTRACT:Today, optimal cost design of water distribution networks is one of the fundamental issues in water management plans. In recent years, high accuracy of meta-heuristic methods has gained attention of researchers. In this research, genetic algorithm and harmony search methods were used for optimal cost design of water distribution network in Kourtay village, Khoy. The results showed the significant ability of the methods, since the design costs were decreased by 8% and 10% using the genetic algorithm and harmony search algorithm, respectively. Furthermore, the Harmony search method was found more optimal and faster than the genetic algorithm.
