In this paper, such indices are considered and examined in relation to hydraulic software using Demand Driven Analysis (DDA) or Pressure Driven Analysis (PDA). We investigate the needed hypotheses to obtain effective numerical simulations employing, in particular, EPANET or WaterNetGen, and the concrete applicability to a real water supply system known in literature as the KL network.engUrban water supply systemsPerformance indicesNetwork analysisResilienceMathematical modelingjournal article
