This book proposes a design support methodology which can help water utilities, managers and researchers to define the optimal districts or sectors of a water supply network. The methodology is based on graph theory principles and tested in real-world cases.

The management of a water supply network can be substantially improved defining permanent sectors or districts that enhances simpler water loss detection and pressure management. 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...
