Past earthquakes have revealed that earthquakes disrupt operations of underground water
infrastructure systems. Assessment of the seismic vulnerability of underground water pipe …

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 …

Installing an efficient monitoring and control sensor system provides the possibility to carry
out main tasks on Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) management and protection. Given …

Detection of contamination events in water distribution systems is a crucial task for
maintaining water security. Online monitoring is considered as the most cost-effective …

Water quality sensors are used to detect contamination in water distribution systems (WDSs)
to help supply safe and quality drinking water to society. However, identifying the optimal …

A new sensor placement problem is formulated to cover two objectives of:(1) assuring
quality of water delivered to consumers; and (2) detection of any contamination event at the …

The protection against contamination events in water distribution systems involves two
distinct phases: detection of the presence of a contaminant and implementation of actions to …

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 …

Many models or algorithms have been suggested for sensor placement in the drinking water
distribution networks, such as genetic algorithms, multiobjective optimization models, and …

This paper deals with methods aimed at the effective and efficient detection of accidental
