37 Limitations ph sensor data insufficient for for source back-tracking. More dynamic and hydraulic data are necessary for source back-tracking. EPANET time outputs changes with user defined parameters. Flow charateristics and pipe properties were not analyzed. MASHREKI ISLAM SAMI Chalmers 37

38 Key Findings Simple sorting matrix, Graph theory, Complex network theory etc. are easy to use and efficient optimizing techniques. Chemical tends to flow in laminar in the pipe system EPANET is convenient to simulate WDN for hydraulic analysis but time-variant chemical flow is not available. Simple & cheap ph sensors are efficient in detecting sudden changes in ph of water. MASHREKI ISLAM SAMI Chalmers 38

39 Conclusions The study highlights the possibilities of sensor localization in WDN using simpler methods Intrusion at downstream nodes for the designed WDN can be detected by sensors upstream enabling early warning signal Source tracking was not possible due to limitations and uncertainties associated with EPANET and simple sensors Computer program specifically developed for source tracking can contribute greatly to future water distribution network.
