DiTEC-WDN - The Gigantic Dataset

This work includes a collection of synthetic scenarios devised from 36 Water Distribution Networks (WDNs).

For the sake of clarity, it would be better to get into familiarized concepts:

• Scenario denotes as a sequence of snapshots.

• Snapshot represents a measured steady-state of a particular WDN and is often modelled as an undirect graph.

• Input parameters includes simulation inputs, such as demands, pipe diameter, and so on.

• Output parameters includes simulation outcomes which researchers are interested in (e.g., pressure, flow rate, head, ...)

Both parameters are described as nodal/edge features in the snapshot graph. Their values are diverse but temporal correlated with those of other snapshots in the same scenario. However, in DiTEC-WDN, two scenarios are considered completely different WDNs despite their origin being the same network.
