Abstract: Reduction of water losses in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) is a crucial task for all water agencies and experts, as the lost water remains unbilled undermining their environmental footprint and financial viability. This work focuses on the development of an innovative framework that combines statistical clustering approaches and hydraulic modeling principles, for robust estimation of water losses and optimal partitioning of the historical center of the city of Patras into Pressure Management Areas (PMAs), without undermining the overall hydraulic resilience of the network.
