Optimal Designs of Sensor Placement in Water Distribution Systems: Water Quality Monitoring and Contamination Detection

The dual purpose of regular monitoring and contaminant event detection in the water distribution systems (WDSs) can be achieved through sensors that can monitor general water quality constituents, such as pH, residual chlorine, conductivity, temperature, etc. This book details different sensor placement parameters considered for contamination detection and regular/routine water quality monitoring in WDSs and their evaluations. It covers genetic algorithm (GA)-based methodology, selecting a ...
