This paper presents a Fuzzy – Cross entropy (CE) model for uncertainty analysis of water distribution networks (WDN), in which, the fuzzy set theory is used to deal with uncertain input information and to study the propagation of input uncertainty to the unknown outputs of the WDN problem; and the cross entropy method is used for optimization of the membership functions of uncertain output parameters such as pipe discharges and nodal heads. The model is linked with EPANET for hydraulic simulation. The model is applied to a two loop water distribution network, in which roughness coefficient of pipes has been selected as the uncertain input parameter and the uncertainty propagation on output parameters is investigated. The obtained results are compared with solutions of past studies and it is found that the proposed approach is effective in dealing with uncertainty in input parameters and optimization of membership functions of uncertain output parameters. Keywords—cross entropy, fuzzy sets, uncertainty analysis, water distribution networks
