Abstract
In this paper, a methodology is presented, which allows the trade-off of different design solutions and a deeper insight into the behaviour of the water distribution system, by defining the Impact Probability Distribution (IPD). Being optimal that set of monitoring stations that maximizes the probability of detecting an intentional contamination, the IPD links the impact to the length of the optimal set of monitoring stations and to the probability of detection of the threat. The feasibility of this methodology is demonstrated in a small real-world test caseI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
