Optimal sampling locations contamination extent WDS figure dataset 08242018

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-08-24
The dataset was created from simulating contamination incidents in a water distribution system and selecting optimal sampling locations to identify the contamination incident. This data includes the number of contamination scenarios still credible after each sampling cycle; the number of nodes correctly identified as being contaminated after each sampling cycle; and the number of nodes identify as likely contaminated, likely not contaminated, and uncertain after each sampling cycle. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Rodriguez, S., M. Bynum, C. Laird, D. Hart, K. Klise, J. Burkhardt, and T. Haxton. Optimal sampling locations to reduce uncertainty in contamination extent in water distribution systems. Journal of Infrastructure Systems. American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Reston, VA, USA, 27(3): 1-31, (2021).
