Abstract
Ensuring a reliable water supply in the face of changing conditions and growing demand is a critical global challenge. Water distribution networks (WDNs) are essential infrastructure, but traditional modeling methods based on historical data often
struggle to adapt in real-time and integrate new information. In order to lower model errors in WDN models, this study explores the use of a Data Assimilation (DA) method that makes use of the Ensemble Kalman Filter. The study explores the effectiveness of the DA method, and a novel Greedy Algorithm (GA) for optimizing the location of sensors. The study shows that the DA method improves the WDN model and the GA is able to successfully determine optimal sensor locations. It was observed that increasing the number of sensors in the WDN increased the effectiveness of the DA method. This study highlights the potential of data assimilation to improve WDN modeling. Water utilities can gain from more precise predictions, greater system performance, and efficient decision-making for the management and maintenance of water distribution networks by allowing models to adapt and improve dynamically
