Decision support system for the management of water distribution networks a case study of Tourville, Algeria

• The analysis of the current situation of water distribution networks (WDNs) is based on many alternatives that are technically feasible and implemented by decision makers. Taking the WDN of Tourville city as a case study, this paper combines a set of decision support systems (DSSs), including geographic information systems (GISs), multicriteria analysis and hydraulic simulation models, to establish a multicriteria decision-making aid method for the renovation and rehabilitation of water distribution networks. This combination creates an expert management system based on multicriteria decision making that strengthens the optimization of the management of water distribution networks in terms of renovation and rehabilitation. After dividing the water distribution network into three emergency levels, it was concluded that 26% of the network is in urgent need of rehabilitation.
