Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTRUMENTING WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/135953
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for instrumenting a water distribution network comprises generating an adjacency matrix for network topology of the water distribution network having pipes and nodes, based on static physical properties related to the water distribution network; computing a centrality metric for at least one of the pipes and the nodes based on the adjacency matrix; identifying, based on the centrality metric, at least one of pipes and nodes from amongst the pipes and the nodes, for installation of at least one of meters and sensors.
