With regard to the first topic, the following aspects are addressed: pressure-driven formulations, algorithms for the optimal location of control valves to minimize leakage, the benefits of water discharge prediction for the remote real time control of valves, and transients generated by pumps operating as turbines. In the context of the second topic, a topological taxonomy of WDNs is presented, and partitioning methods for the creation of district metered areas are compared. In relation to the third topic, the vulnerability to trihalomethane is assessed, and a statistical optimization model to minimize heavy metal releases is presented. Finally, the fourth topic focusses on the estimation of non-revenue water, including leakage and unauthorized consumption, and on the assessment of service under intermittent supply conditions. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $a24 610 $aartificial neural network 610 $ablending 610 $acomplex network theory 610 $adisinfection by-products 610 $adistrict metered areas 610 $adual response surface optimization (DRSO) 610 $aenergy recovery systems 610 $agraph partitioning 610 $aintermittent water supply 610 $aleakage 610 $amathematical model 610 $amodularity 610 $amultiple regression analysis 610 $amultiple source waters blending optimization (MSWBO) 610 $anon-revenue water 610 $aoptimization 610 $apressure 610 $apressure-driven 610 $apump 610 $areal time control 610 $arelease of heavy metals (HMR) 610 $arunaway conditions 610 $asnapshot simulation 610 $atopological analysis 610 $aunsteady flow 610 $avalve 610 $avulnerability 610 $awater distribution modelling 610 $awater distribution network 610 $awater distribution network management 610 $awater distribution system 610 $awater hammer 610 $awater quality 610 $awater quality (WQ) 610 $awater service quality 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aCreaco$b Enrico$4auth$01281245 702 $aPezzinga$b Giuseppe$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346855203321 996 $aAdvances in Water Distribution Networks$93018418 997 $aUNINA
