Water distribution networks play a crucial role in delivering safe water to communities.
However, their extensive reach and complex structure make them susceptible to …

Today, there is a growing interest in network water quality modelling. The water quality
issues of interest relate to both dissolved and particulate substances. For dissolved …

Hydraulic water distribution system (WDS) simulation models are widely used by planners,
water utility personnel, consultants and many others involved in analysis, design, operation …

Dead-end sections of drinking water distribution networks are known to be problematic
zones in terms of water quality degradation. Extended residence time due to water …

Contaminants from the soil surrounding drinking water distribution systems are thought to
not enter the drinking water when sufficient internal pressure is maintained. Pressure …

Water distribution networks (WDNs) are critical infrastructure for the welfare of society. Due
to their spatial extent and difficulties in deployment of security measures, they are vulnerable …

Drinking water supply systems are vulnerable targets for which counter-terrorism measures
have been raised worldwide. The threat of terrorist attacks to these systems has led to the …

This paper considers the introduction of a contaminant into a water supply system using a
backflow attack. The recent development of techniques for water network sectorization …

This work proposes a modeling framework to quantify the effects of deliberate organic
contamination events on water distribution systems. A bacterial regrowth model and a first …

Government planners have long been aware that urban water systems are vulnerable to
threats and disasters, both manmade and natural, including water shortages and droughts …
