Abstract:The computation of Contaminant Source Characterization (CSC) is a critical research issue in Water Distribution System (WDS) management. We use a simulation framework to identify optimized locations of sensors that lead to fast detection of contamination sources. The optimization engine is based on a Genetic Algorithm (GA) that interprets trial solutions as individuals. During the optimization process many thousands of these solutions are generated. For a large WDS, the calculation of these solutions are non-t… Show more
