A fault isolation algorithm which correlates on line the residuals (generated by comparing the available chlorine measurements with their estimations using a model) with the fault sensitivity matrix is used. The proposed methodology has been applied to a District Metered Area (DMA) in the Barcelona network. %U http://www.drink-water-eng-sci.net/5/67/2012/dwes-5-67-2012.html
