N2 - The ability to provide high water quality distribution from sources to consumers is a foremost objective in water distribution systems security. Different techniques based on physical, chemical, and other methods constitute a variety of solutions for the layout, design, and operation of water networks, all aimed at decreasing the risk of supplying contaminated water to consumers. This study presents a new analysis approach based on clustering insights of water distribution networks connectivity for enhancing its security. Clustering is utilized herein for dynamically exploring the system behavior. Through clustering formations, addition of network components such as pipes and tanks for the layout problem, and valves for its operation-contamination spreading is controlled and contained. The developed methodology is demonstrated on several example applications, showing its capabilities to provide a decision support tool for contaminant control and containment in water distribution systems.
