Abstract: In order to manage such a situation, it is essential to understand and model dilution and dispersion phenomena of pollutants within the system in light of their connective structure. In this context, the present study proposes a strategy aimed at identifying nodes in sewer networks that have a high diffusion capacity, i. e. those nodes that, once contaminated, are able to propagate the contamination in a significant way due to their topological characteristics. These nodes, due to their strategic position in the network and their proximity to relevant nodes, dominate the contaminant diffusion processes. In fact, although they do not represent the most crossed nodes among all the paths towards the receptor, they represent points from which each contaminant has a greater probability of propagating in the network, and in this sense, they should be constantly monitored.
