Impact/Purpose:
The sensor placement problem in contamination warning system design for municipal water distribution networks involves maximizing the protection level afforded by limited numbers of sensors, typically quantified as the expected impact of a contamination event; the issue of how to mitigate against high-consequence events is either handled implicitly or ignored entirely. This paper, introduce several robust variations of the sensor placement problem, distinguished by how they quantify the potential damage due to high consequence events.
