Sensor Placement Under Nodal Demand Uncertainty for Water Distribution Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Protecting Critical Infrastructure ((PCIN,volume 2))

Abstract

The governing requirements for security for water supply systems in Canada are provincially mandated, not federally regulated. The national strategy works on the basis of collaborative efforts from federal, provincial, territorial, and critical infrastructure sectors to provide the infrastructure resiliency.
