  • Abstract
    In this study we present a methodology for backflow detection through the interpretation of results from a network of Automatic Meter Reading. The approach is based on the so-called logical consensus theory and consists of a distributed failure detection and system reconfiguration. The effectiveness of the proposed method is showed through simulation within a prototypical water distribution network.
