Abstract :
A structured messy genetic algorithm (SMGA) has been developed for finding the optimal way of investing a fixed budget for improvement of a water distribution network. The SMGA successfully identifies (and designs) a small, near-optimal, subset of elements to be added or improved from the much larger set of all network elements
