Abstract: The paper presents SWANP© 4.0 (Smart Water Network Partitioning and Protection), a novel software release developed by the authors with the support of the water utility GORI Spa and the spin-off company Med. Hydro srl. The release 4.0 offers to the operators some innovative tools based on the main results of research activities carried out by the authors on the topics of hydraulic modelling, water network partitioning and water quality protection. The novel approaches have already been tested on real case studies of national and international water utilities. SWANP© 4.0 is available after a free registration at the website www. swanp. net for a limited number of networks, and it allows performing DDA (demand drive approach) and PDA (pressure driven approach) simulations, defining automatically the optimal layout in terms of number, shape and dimension of DMA (district meter area), managing water pressure with pressure PRV (pressure regulation valves), identifying optimal positioning of water quality detection points with or without calibration model and computing resilience of water systems by means of innovative global and local performance indices able to compare original and modified layouts.
