Contaminant intrusion in a distribution network (DN) refers to the entry of harmful chemicals
and pathogens in the presence of three conditions:(i) the availability of a contaminant source …

To respond to growing concerns related to potential contamination ingress via backflow
and/or terrorist threats to drinking water, a data mining approach is developed. Use of this …

Accidental or intentional contamination in a water distribution system (WDS) has recently
attracted attention due to the potential hazard to public health and the complexity of the …

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Response Protocol Toolbox provides a list
of recommendations on actions that may be taken to minimize the potential threats to public …

The security of drinking water distribution operation is an important issue that has received
increasing interest within the last few years. The US EPA has issued guidelines for water …

The rapid discovery of the contaminant source in a water distribution system (WDS) is vital
for generating an efficient control strategy during a contamination event. An inverse problem …

We present a Bayesian approach for the Contamination Source Detection problem in water
distribution networks. Assuming that contamination is a rare event (in space and time), we try …

Accidental or intentional drinking water contamination has long been and remains a major
threat to water security throughout the world. An inverse problem can be constructed, given …

Deliberate chemical contaminant injection is one of the most important dangers which
threatens urban water distribution networks. Decisions made following the detection of such …

A multi-stage response procedure for identifying possible ingress nodes (PINs) and
quantifying the likelihood that a PIN in a given water distribution system is the actual point of …
