Abstract: Abstract Urban areas rely on infrastructure that collects, purifies and distributes drinking water to the population. This infrastructure is vulnerable to two attack vectors: destruction and pollution. Both attacks entail direct and indirect damages whose impact is simulated by a compartmentalized model. An operationalization with four variables and ten parameters is proposed, and opportunities to develop this model for more complex scenarios are discussed.
