    • A computer-implemented method (100) for determining a configuration (1*) of a water distribution network (1), comprising the steps of:
      • providing (110) a hydraulic model (1b) of the water distribution network (1) in a base configuration where the given leak (1a) is isolated;
      • providing (120) an inventory of available bypass components (4), wherein installation and/or usage of each bypass component (4) is associated with a penalty value (4a);
      • providing (130), for each customer (3) of the water distribution network (1), a penalty value (3a) that is associated with supply interruption of this customer (3) during isolation of the leak (1a);
      • determining (140), based on the inventory of available bypass components (4), bypass connections (4#) between junctions i and j in the water distribution network (1), additive penalty contributions (5+) for installation and/or usage of such bypass connections (4#), and subtractive penalty contributions (5-) for reconnection of customers (3) to a water source (2) by virtue of the bypass connections (4#);
      • setting up (150), for each such pair (i,j), at least one equation (6), said at least one equation (6) in at least the flow qij through the bypass connection (4#) and the switching state sij of the bypass connection (4#) stipulating that, of the conditions:
      ∘ the difference hi - hj between the head hi at junction i and the head hj at junction j shall be dependent on the flow qij through the bypass connection according to a given continuity function Δhij(qij), and
      ∘ the flow qij shall vanish,
      at least one condition is satisfied;

      • optimizing (160) for a set of flows qij and switching states sij that fulfils the system of equations (6) while carrying a low overall penalty; and
      • determining (190) the obtained set of flows qij∗ and switching states sij∗ as the sought configuration (1*) of the water distribution network (1).
