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 …

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 …

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 …

The problem of deploying sensors in a large water distribution network is considered, in
order to detect the malicious introduction of contaminants. It is shown that a large class of …

The detection of contaminant intrusion into a water-distribution network (WDN) is a difficult
issue due to uncertainty related to the type of injected contaminant, source location, and …

To satisfy their main goal, namely providing quality water to consumers, water distribution
networks (WDNs) need to be suitably monitored. Only well designed and reliable monitoring …

This paper aims to solve three issues frequently present in the optimal placement of water
quality sensors for protecting water distribution systems (WDSs) from both accidental and …

Water quality security within water distribution systems (WDSs) has been an important issue
due to their inherent vulnerability associated with contamination intrusion. This motivates …

This paper proposes a combined management strategy for monitoring water distribution
networks (WDNs). This strategy is based on the application of water network partitioning …

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 …
