An improved decomposition-based heuristic to design a water distribution network for an irrigation system

In this paper the authors address a pressurized water distribution network design problem for irrigation purposes. Two mixed binary nonlinear programming models are proposed for this NP-hard problem. Furthermore, a heuristic algorithm is presented for the problem, which considers a decomposition seq...
