Permanent partitioning represents one of the more effective approaches for an innovative management of water distribution networks (WDNs) because it allows simplification of the network control defining small subsystem defined as a district meter area (DMA) in which it is simpler to compute water balance, to achieve pressure management and to check water quality. The design of permanent water network partitioning (WNP) is very difficult to apply to large water networks using traditional approaches based on empirical considerations and trial and errors techniques. Recently, the authors developed the software SWANP that allows definition automatically of the number and dimension and shape of a DMA using different innovative heuristic optimization procedures. In this paper a novel release 3.5 of SWANP is presented that implements novel algorithms, based on social network theory for the clustering phase and a genetic multiobjective for the dividing phase, to automatically design DMAs of a real, large water network in Alcalá de Henares, Spain.

永久分区代表了一种创新的水分配网络（WDN）管理方式，是一种更有效的方法，因为它可以简化定义小子系统的网络控制，该子系统定义为区域水表区域（DMA），在该子系统中水平衡计算更为简单，实现压力管理并检查水质。永久性水网划分（WNP）的设计很难使用基于经验和试错技术的传统方法应用于大型水网。最近，作者开发了软件SWANP，该软件可以使用不同的创新启发式优化程序自动定义DMA的数量，尺寸和形状。本文提出了一种新颖的SWANP版本3.5，该版本实现了新颖的算法，
