Abstract
Before calibrating a water distribution model, selection of the best points to collect data is undoubtedly an important task for relevant experts. This paper presents a systematic process of sampling design (SD) in a real water distribution network (WDN). The purpose is to find a specific number of optimal monitoring locations in which measurement devices (pressure loggers) will be installed. At first, skeletonization is applied to Mahalat WDN for selecting only the parts of WDN that have significant impact on the behaviour of the system. SD is then formulated and solved as an optimization problem by using a single objective genetic algorithm (SOGA) model. Model prediction accuracy is defined as the objective function. The soloutions obtained by soga are compared to the onest obtained by expert choice (EC). The results show that SOGA can find measurement locations with significantly better predicition accuracy rather than EC.
