As the water distribution network as a last resort in the urban water cycle is directly related to the subscribers, the changes in the quality and quantity of drinking water may have adverse human, socio-economic and physical consequences in the shortest time after the crisis. One of the most important measures to reduce the negative consequences of the occurrence of human-made threats, natural events and inherent accidents in urban water networks is to have a plan that is in accordance with the principles of non-operational defense. In this regard, the present study was designed to provide urban water network design model in order to provide sustainability against potential crises. In this paper, four models (serial, branch, ring and composite) are presented for network design. By identifying 11 models of urbanization and their adaptation to water network models, six models (radial, circular, spider, network, satellite, and galactic) To design the optimal water network. Considering seven inertial defenses (diminishing, networking, consolidating, storing, balancing, dispersing and replacing), selected urban models are designed to design a water grid around the four main axes (reducing the probability of occurrence of threats, decreasing the vulnerability, reducing the speed to Normal conditions and ease of management of emergencies (which include a total of 168 different modes) were evaluated. According to the results, the theoretical framework of the model was formulated and its main axes were determined. In the following, identifying 34 characteristics for the proposed model, 14 patterns of innovation were introduced, in the end, by designing the public view, the urban water network design pattern was developed to provide sustainable water supply against threats and with a neighborhood-oriented approach.
