This paper develops a consensus-based control protocol for a resilient Water Distribution System (WDS) intending to allow continuous water supply on the WDS facilities in the presence of faulty event(s). The consensus is based on logical inputs which iterate by utilizing the cellular automata (CA) concept. The simulation is performed on MATLAB based on the WDS leakage problem. As a result, the consensus is reached within a five-cycle time, which indicates the triggered value in two agents’ readings. The controllability of the system is analyzed using the existence of the Hamiltonian cycle (HC) and full rank matrix which appears in the reachability matrix The approach suggested in this paper is expected to be scalable and can be applied to any huge scale of WDS layouts.
