The main purpose of companies responsible for water distribution networks is to improve the efficiency of supply while minimizing associated costs to meet a specific water demand. This objective involves reducing water losses, maintaining pressure uniformity, and ensuring a minimum quality of the distributed water. This work proposes an innovative approach to address these challenges, focusing on pressure management by partitioning the network into district metering areas. A method is proposed that uses micro-turbine devices to optimize energy recovery and reduce leaks. The network partitioning process is based on the Leiden algorithm, using hydraulic and topological attributes of the network in the clustering process. The location and configuration of the recovery devices are determined through a multi-objective optimization model. This model incorporates hydraulic and energetic indicators to assess the technical and economic feasibility of installing these systems. The results obtained through the case study demonstrate that the application of the mathematical model ensures viable outcomes, excelling in terms of both water savings and energy production.
