Abstract: A mixed-integer linear program is proposed to identify optimal sensor locations for early warning against accidental and intentional contaminations in drinking water distribution systems. The general model can be applied ...

Abstract: A mixed-integer quadratic programming problem is proposed to locate booster stations and to identify their dosage schedules for maintaining disinfectant residual in drinking water distribution systems. Optimal booster ...

Abstract: Maintaining a disinfectant residual in drinking water distribution networks is a challenge for water utilities. These challenges arise from the spatial and temporal distribution of water usage, and from chemical reactions ...

Abstract: A two-step approach is proposed to assist forensic investigation of possible source locations following a contaminant detection in drinking water systems. Typically this identification problem is ill posed as it has more ...

Abstract: The design of sensor networks for monitoring contaminants in water distribution systems is currently an active area of research. Much of the effort has been directed at the contamination detection problem and the expression ...

Abstract: Following the events of September 11, 2001, in the United States, world public awareness for possible terrorist attacks on water supply systems has increased dramatically. Among the different threats for a water distribution ...
