Abstract
Scientific and technological developments
together with the effect of increasing population, the sharing and usage of
water on the earth gains more importance from day to day. It is a necessity
that this material which is so valuable on the earth is to be saved and used
adequately. In this study, it is aimed to determine the optimum conditions of
the water in the pipes in a simple water distribution network. For this
purpose, the solution of the sample network has been realized by using the
Cuckoo Search and Firefly Algorithms and examined together with the results in
the literature. It has been determined that the solution of the network using
the Cuckoo Search Algorithm is better than the other algorithms.
