[EN] Nowadays, especially in developing countries, a large number of medium and small towns are facing the problem of increasing demand for drinking water, although these towns don’t have any tools and resources to provide a logical solution from the technical point of view. The use of strategic water supply network models would be a powerful support for the decision-making process for these populations, particularly within the scope of the planning of this infrastructure in the medium and long term. However, the context in which this need usually appears is characterized by the lack of basic information for the application of conventional modeling techniques (among other equally important problems), combined with a bad socio-political and economic situation, which does not allow to reduce this gap in the short term through the usual technical resources. Consequently, a question arises: how to get a mathematical model of a water supply network under these circumstances, which gives a useful outcome for the decision making process in the strategic planning that affects this infrastructure? This project’s main target is to answer this question. To do this, it aims to supplement conventional modeling methodology with the use of secondary information coming from towns different to the town problem to solve, essentially through sorting/classification techniques such as Clustering Analysis and Support Vector Machines. In the calibration phase, it pretends to absorb the uncertainty of a reality that is far away from being described clearly and unequivocally, with the assistance of techniques and concepts of Soft Computing: genetic algorithms and membership functions of fuzzy subsets. This project came out from a study case of the municipality of Nogoyá (Argentina), chosen following a collaboration with the Centro de Estudios para la Gestión Local Sostenible del Agua y del Hábitat Humano, in the Universidad Autónoma de Entre Ríos.
