Abstract:
Abstract Topological clustering was investigated to simplify a complex water distribution network of Copenhagen, Denmark, into recogniz- able water movement patterns. This made it possible to assess the general transport of the water and to suggest strategic sampling locations. Through a topological analysis, the network model was divided into strongly and weakly connected clusters within selected time periods. Steady connected clusters were found by conducting a cluster analysis over all chosen selected time periods. We identified sampling locations with steady hydraulic conditions, increasing the samplesĪ²ā¬ā¢ comparability over time, and locations, where samples represent the distributed and consumed water in the Norrebro district.
