Large-Scale Multipurpose Benchmark Datasets For Assessing Data-Driven Deep Learning Approaches For Water Distribution Networks

Currently, the number of common benchmark datasets that researchers can use straight away for assessing data-driven deep learning approaches is very limited. Most studies provide data as configuration files. It is still up to each practitioner to follow a particular data generation method and run computationally intensive simulations to obtain usable data for model training and evaluation. In this work, we provide a collection of datasets that includes several small- and medium-sized publicly available Water Distribution Networks (WDNs), including Anytown, Modena, Balerma, C-Town, D-Town, L-Town, Ky1, Ky6, Ky8, and Ky10. In total, 1,394,400 h of WDN data operating under normal conditions are made available to the community.
