Systems in this section are artificial systems created specifically to be used as benchmarks or in studies. They were created between 2004 and 2014 and have large amounts of data available for them.

01 Exnet
The Exnet system is a synthetic system and was originally developed by Farmani et al. in 2004 as part of a benchmark for distribution modeling software. The system has a total demand of 82,000 CMD, two reservoirs, and 594 km of pipe. It is classified as distribution sparse-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).
-
02 Micropolis
The Micropolis system is a synthetic system and was originally developed by Brumbelow et al. in 2007 as part of a virtual city for studies on infrastructure security. The system has a total demand of 1.6 MGD, two reservoirs, one tank, eight pumps, and 22.3 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution branch by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and branched by Hoagland et al. (2015).

03 KL
The KL system is a synthetic system and was originally developed by Kang & Lansey in 2012 as part of a study on the heuristic hierarchical approach to optimization. The system has a total demand of 4.0 MGD, one reservoir, and 157 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).

04 Jilin
The Jilin system is a synthetic system and was originally developed by Bi & Dandy in 2014 as part of a study on online retrained metamodels. The system has a total demand of 112,000 CMD, one reservoir, and 29 km of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwanyg & Lansey (2017) and gridded by Hoagland et al. (2015).
