Parametric coefficient genetic algorithm for domestic water consumption / Nurul Nadia Hani

Residential water consumption is influenced by various factors. Household routine parameters involving water-using appliances and fixtures such as number of times the occupants of a household took bath and shower, doing laundry, watering plants and other routines ultimately regulate the amount of re...
