A water distribution network (WDN) is an indispensable element of civil infrastructure that
provides fresh water for domestic use, industrial development, and fire-fighting. However, in …

Water distribution networks (WDNs) are critical contributors to the social welfare, economic
growth, and public health in cities. Under the uncertainties that are introduced owing to …

Water utilities face a challenge in maintaining a good quality of service under a wide range
of operational management and failure conditions. Tools for assessing the resilience of …

Abstract Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) are becoming an attractive area of application
for small hydropower, which can contribute to the development of distributed energy …

The optimization of water networks supports the decision‐making process by identifying the

This paper proposes a new methodology for the optimal design of water network
sectorization, which is an essential technique for improving the management and security of …

Abstract Water Network Partitioning (WNP) represents the application of the “divide and
conquer” paradigm to a Smart WAter Network (SWAN) that allows the improved application …

The reliability and robustness against failures of networked water distribution systems are
central tenets of water supply system design and operation. The ability of such networks to …

The design of district metered areas (DMAs) in existing water distribution networks,
especially in urban areas, involves a high number of decision variables, and the effects of …

This paper presents a procedure for the automatic creation of district metered areas (DMAs)
in a water distribution system. The procedure uses techniques derived from graph theory …
