Contamination warning systems (CWSs) are a promising approach for the mitigation of
contamination risks in drinking water distribution systems. A critical aspect of the design of a …

The sensor placement problem in contamination warning system design for municipal water
distribution networks involves maximizing the protection level afforded by limited numbers of …

A method for optimizing sensor locations to effectively and efficiently detect contamination in
a water distribution network is presented here. The problem is formulated and solved as a …

Protection of water distribution networks (WDNs) is at the forefront because of the negative
implications of the use of the contaminated water on the public health. In order to safeguard …

The physical layout of drinking water utilities makes them inherently vulnerable to
contamination incidents caused by routine operations. These contaminations present …

Optimal sensor placement for detecting contamination events in water distribution systems is
a well explored problem in water distribution systems security. We study herein the problem …

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 …

Frequent water pollution incidents have occurred recently, leading to severe damages,
economic loss, and long-lasting society impact. Therefore, installation of water quality …

A contaminant intentional intrusion into a water distribution system is one of the most difficult
threats to address. This is because of the uncertainty of the type of the injected contaminant …

The design of a sensor-placement scheme capable of detecting all possible contamination
events for a water distribution system before consumers are put at risk is essentially …
