Abstract: The lack of investment in supply networks for renovation is another problem, when it comes to guaranteeing the sustainability of our most important natural resource, water. Currently, most pipeline renovations in distribution networks are corrective rather than preventive. This leads to cost overruns and poor management of resources. Thanks to advances in computational models aimed at asset management, it is possible to generate a decision support system when renewing networks, based on technical criteria, which also justify the necessary investments in the network.
