Optimization of Monitoring Point Placement of Water Quality in the Water Distribution System Based on TEVA-SPOT

摘要

With the global escalation of terrorist attacks, water supply network has become the weak links exposed to terrorists. Many countries have already raised infrastructure security as homeland security strategies, developing a corresponding tool to simulation and analysis vulnerability for the water distribution system (WDS). This paper is aiming at the non-source pollution in the WDS, and the water quality monitoring points are established. According to the theory of tracing exogenous pollutants in water distribution network, the model is developed by TEVA-SPOT optimizing monitoring point placement of water quality. This study is working to reduce system vulnerabilities, prevent and prepare for terrorist attacks, minimize public health impacts and infrastructure damage, and enhance recovery.
