Data Availability Statement

We are sharing the source code of the B&B algorithm presented by Costa et al. (2016), assuming the depth-first-search criterion, for the Case Study 1—Any Town Modified, as reported by the authors. The code was developed in C#.net language, and it can be compiled by Visual Studio 2019 IDE. The project is available in the following link: https://github.com/luishenrique-uva/branch-bound-epanet.
