Abstract: Leakage or pipe burst detection, often carried out by using the pressure sensor systems (PSSs) within a water distribution network (WDN), is critical to enable such networks to operate in a safe manner. The majority of ...

Abstract: Distribution network modeling is proposed to investigate and manage water quality variations in a distribution network. Common practice in the modeling relies on pipe network simplification through skeletonization and uses ...

Abstract: Water quality sensors placed in water distribution systems (WDSs) are critical for detecting accidental or intentional contamination intrusion. This motivates research to optimally place a limited number of sensors for a ...

Abstract: Despite recent advances in leak detection in water supply systems, previous studies focused mainly on material aspects or orifice opening characteristics. This study evaluated geometric, hydraulic, and hydrodynamic factors ...
