Abstract

The decision making process when deciding which strategy to adopt must be based, in any activity, on good information. Broadly speaking, we can say that to elaborate a model of a network of water distribution consists in organizing adequately the available information about the water network, increasing the information if necessary and maintaining it updated, with the objective of feeding a hydraulic calculation program that permit us, as our principal task, to simulate the behaviour of the physical system which it represents as accurately as possible.
