Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) - network operation state snapshots

This dataset includes the water distribution networks states (snapshots) of 5 different publicly available WDNs (ky13, L-Town, C-Town, Richmond, Rome). A snapshot is a global view of a WDN graph representing concrete pressure/flow/head values at an arbitrary time. The data were created using the mathematical simulation tool EPANET. A brute-force approach to explore the full range of available dynamic configuration parameters (demand, pump speed, tank levels, etc.) was adopted to create the data. The parameters producing pressure ranges exceeding practical limits were exluded, guarateeing this way the quality of the generated data. Hence, the set of dynamic parameters, an unchanged static set, and the topology of a particular water network were used to generate a single snapshot using the conventional simulation method provided by EPANET.
