| description | ABSTRACT This technical note presents a benchmark problem library which compiles, classifies and makes available a series of examples for modeling and analyzing water distribution systems using EPANET. The project consolidates, currently, 44 benchmark problems, categorized by their topological complexity and operational features, besides other parameters of interest. An interactive web interface allows users to access and filter problems according to their research, teaching, or practical goals. By providing complete model examples the library supports learning and development of solutions for a wide variety of water network objectives. Additionally, for some of the main challenges the library facilitates the comparison between new methodologies and those previously published. We hope this resource may encourage the use of model supported analysis, and that contribute to improve the water networks management. |
