This paper deals with methods aimed at the effective and efficient detection of accidental and/or intentional contaminant intrusion(s) in water distribution systems. The objective of this paper is to present a methodology entitled sensors local optimal transformation system (SLOTS) to address both single-objective and multiobjective sensor layout problems. SLOTS is tested on two benchmark water distribution networks used for the Battle of the Water Sensors Networks challenge (BWSN), held as part of the Water Distribution Systems Analysis Symposium, in Cincinnati in 2006. The objectives considered are detection likelihood and the expected population affected prior to detection. The results obtained demonstrate that SLOTS sensor placements are often near optimal. For both single-objective and multiobjective cases, SLOTS is shown to be capable of identifying placements which are consistently better performing than one of the best BWSN methodologies, the greedy algorithm.
