The affected area must be segregated by closing the corresponding isolation valves; as a result, the required amount of drinking water might not be available. This paper explores the behaviour and topology of segments, especially their criticality from the viewpoint of the whole system. A novel, objective, dimensionless, segment-based quantity is proposed to evaluate the vulnerability of both the segments and the whole WDN against a single, incidental pipe break, computed as the product of the probability of failure within the segment and the amount of unserved consumption. 27 comprehensive real-life WDNs have been examined by means of the new metric and with the help of complex network theory, exploiting the concept of the degree distribution and topology-based structural properties (e.g. network diameter, clustering coefficient). It was found that metrics based purely on topology suggest different network behaviour as vulnerability analysis, which also includes the hydraulics. The investigation of the global network vulnerabilities has revealed several critically exposed systems, and the local distributions unveiled new properties of WDNs in the case of a random pipe break. true true 2020 true true true false true false GOLD 2026-05-20 true https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2020.116178 55 0 53 47 7 51 52 46 48 53 53 47 47 48 7 0 55 48 53 47 0 3 3 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 50 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 1 Könyv Book 23 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 2 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 2 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 0 0 0 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 0 0 Könyv Book 23 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 0 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 0 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 0 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 0 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 0 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 0 0 2020 0 1 1 1 1 2021 0 6 5 6 5 2022 0 8 7 8 7 2023 0 12 8 12 8 2024 0 13 12 13 12 2025 0 8 8 8 8 2026 0 7 7 7 7 D1 false 10002057,10063321,10058761 false false false 2020-10-11T12:45:43.025+0000 Hidrodinamikai Rendszerek Tanszék (BME / GPK) 3 5 1 3 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 92055067 /api/authorship/92055067 1 0.333 true false true Author 10058761 /api/author/10058761 Wéber Richárd true 10058761 true Wéber Richárd true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 92055068 /api/authorship/92055068 2 0.33333334 false false false Author 10063321 /api/author/10063321 Huzsvár Tamás true 10063321 true Huzsvár Tamás true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 92055069 /api/authorship/92055069 3 0.33333334 false true false Author 10002057 /api/author/10002057 Hős Csaba János true 10002057 true Hős Csaba true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 17053678 /api/publicationidentifier/17053678 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true GOLD true IDENTICAL 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116178 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2020.116178 false true PublicationIdentifier 18190838 /api/publicationidentifier/18190838 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 000589969100006 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/000589969100006 false true PublicationIdentifier 20131762 /api/publicationidentifier/20131762 PlainSource 3 /api/publicationsource/3 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true Scopus Scopus http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-@@@ true true 3 true IDENTICAL 85088097812 http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-85088097812 false true PublicationIdentifier 18364922 /api/publicationidentifier/18364922 PlainSource 17 /api/publicationsource/17 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true PubMed PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=@@@&dopt=Abstract true true 17 true IDENTICAL 32707306 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=32707306&dopt=Abstract false true Classification 10807 /api/classification/10807 true true SjrRating 10763833 /api/sjrrating/10763833 3 0.0 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr true true ClassificationExternal 2205 /api/classificationexternal/2205 true 2205 true D1 DIRECT true true /api/publication/31377594 <div class="JournalArticle Publication long-list"> <div class="authors"> <img title="Forrásközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-core-icon.png"> <img title="Idézőközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-citation-icon.png"> <div class="autype autype0"> <span class="author-name" mtid="10058761"><a href="/gui2/?type=authors&mode=browse&sel=10058761" target="_blank">Wéber Richárd ✉ (<span class="authorship-author-name">Wéber Richárd</span> <span class="authorAux-mtmt"> gépészet</span>) </a> </span> <span class="author-affil"><span title="Budapest University of Technology and Economics">BUTE</span>/<span title="Faculty of Mechanical Engineering">FME</span>/Department of Hydrodinamic Systems</span> ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
