Abstract: Water distribution network models for large municipalities have tens of thousands of interconnecting pipes and junctions with complex hydraulic controls. Many water security applications, including sensor placement ...

Abstract: Contamination warning systems (CWSs) for drinking water distribution systems (WDSs) are used to reduce the potential adverse effects of intentional or accidental WDS contamination. They are designed on the basis of possible ...

Abstract: We present a model for optimizing the placement of sensors in municipal water networks to detect maliciously injected contaminants. An optimal sensor configuration minimizes the expected fraction of the population at risk. ...

Abstract: We present a mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for sensor placement optimization in municipal water distribution systems that includes the temporal characteristics of contamination events and their impacts. Typical ...

Abstract: We consider the problem of designing a contaminant warning system for a municipal water distribution network that uses imperfect sensors, which can generate false-positive and false-negative detections. Although sensor ...
