Two main reasons for using intermittent water supply (IWS) systems are water scarcity and power outages. As a result of IWS systems, consumers have inequitable water supply and high operating costs for water utilities. This study proposes a new methodology for assessing and improving the IWS systems’ resilience under limited water and electricity supply. First, a global resilience analysis (GRA) of the network was conducted to identify its main vulnerabilities. Second, adaptation intervention strategies were considered to improve the network’s resilience. Results indicate that system resilience is improved through an operation intervention strategy.
