Abstract Water distribution network (WDN) leakage management has received increased attention in recent years. One of
the most successful leakage-control strategies is to divide the network into District Metered Areas (DMAs). As a
multi-staged technique, the generation of DMAs is a difficult task in design and implementation (i.e., clustering,
sectorization, and performance evaluation). Previous studies on DMAs implementation did not consider the
potential use of existing valves in achieving the objective. In this work, a methodology is proposed for detecting
clusters and reducing the cost of additional valves and DMA sectorization by considering existing valves as much as
possible. The procedure… More >
