Abstract
- Sectorization is a process aimed at efficiently managing Water Supply Networks (WSNs). There are many large WSNs where the number of sectors into which they might be subdivided is initially unknown. Our method uses concepts derived from the Social Network Theory (SNT) such as centrality and community detection to obtain such subdivisions. The output is then evaluated through energy criteria. This methodology entails two very important benefits over other methods previously proposed. Firstly, it is applicable to WSNs depending on a network trunk and, secondly, it considers the technical know-how of the staff of the water utility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
