However, the water network partitioning may compromise water system performance, since some pipes are usually closed to delimit districts in order not to have too many metering stations, to decrease costs and simplify water balance. This may reduce the reliability of the whole system and not guarantee the delivery of water at the different network nodes. In practical applications, the design of districts or sectors is generally based on empirical approaches or on limited field experiences. The book proposes a design support methodology, based on graph theory principles and tested on real case study. The described methodology can help water utilities, professionals and researchers to define the optimal districts or sectors of a water supply network. 410 0$aCourses and lectures ;$vno. 543. 606 $aWater-supply 606 $aUrban runoff$xManagement 606 $aWater leakage$xManagement 606 $aWater-meters 615 0$aWater-supply. 615 0$aUrban runoff$xManagement. 615 0$aWater leakage$xManagement. 615 0$aWater-meters. 676 $a628.1 700 $aDi Nardo$b Armando$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059090 702 $aDi Natale$b Michele 702 $aDi Mauro$b Anna 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437773103321 996 $aWater Supply Network District Metering$92504121 997 $aUNINA
