This paper aims to analyse the concept of water distribution system management and the modalities of including the optimization tools for increasing the process efficiency. Water distribution systems are often unable to respond quickly and efficiently to consumers demands. Water is a non-renewable resource and should therefore be treated with special interest. Sustainable development and optimization are the steps to take. A mathematical optimization model is presented in the second part of the paper with explanations regarding the steps followed. The result demonstrates the efficiency, speed and accessibility of using graphical-analytical optimization methods in the field of water distribution system.
