Evaluating the Robustness of Water Quality Sensor Placement Strategies of Water Distribution Systems Considering Possible Sensor Failures and System Changes

An early contamination warning system with deployed water quality sensors is often used to enhance the safety of a water distribution system (WDS). While algorithms have been developed to select an optimal water quality sensor placement strategy (WQSPS) for WDSs, many of them do not account for the influences caused by future uncertainties,...
