Abstract: Using a structured design methodology, we develop an efficient iterated local search metaheuristic for the water distribution network design optimisation problem. The algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in the literature while being considerably less complex. Our approach is — contrary to algorithms in the literature — also shown to perform well on large, realistic instances.
