    Trabajo presentado a la 16th Water Distribution System Analysis Conference ( WDSA2014): Urban Water Hydroinformatics and Strategic Planning, celebrada en Bari (Italia) del 14 al 17 de julio.-- Under a Creative Commons license.Some pressure sensor placement methods for leak detection and location in water distribution networks are based on the pressure sensitivity matrix analysis. This matrix depends on the network demands, which are nondeterministic, and the leak magnitudes, which are unknown. In this paper, the robustness of a sensor placement methodology against the fault sensitivity matrix uncertainty is studied. The robustness study is illustrated by means of a small academic network as well as a district metered area in the Barcelona water distribution network. Results reveal that this uncertainty should be taken into account in the sensor placement methodology.This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the CICYT project SHERECS (ref.
