The　malfunction　of　the　water　distribution　system　(WDS)　following　severe　earthquakes　have　significant　impacts　on　the　post-earthquake　rescue.　Moreover,　the　restoration　priority　of　earthquake-induced　pipeline　damages　plays　an　important　role　in　improving　the　post-earthquake　serviceability　of　WDS　and　the　＂seismic　resilience＂.　Thus,　to　enhance　the　seismic　resilience　of　WDS,　this　study　develops　a　dynamic　cost-benefit　method　and　introduces　three　existing　methods　to　determine　the　restoration　priority　of　pipeline　damages　based　on　a　quantitative　resilience　evaluation　framework.　In　this　resilience　evaluation　framework,　the　restoration　priority　is　firstly　determined.　Then　the　time-varying　performance　of　post-earthquake　WDS　is　modeled　as　a　discrete　event　dynamic　system.　In　this　model,　the　system　state　changes　after　the　reparation　of　pipeline　damage,　and　the　system　performance　is　simulated　by　a　hydraulic　model　to　be　consistent　with　the　system　state.　In　this　study,　this　method　is　also　tested　and　compared　with　other　existing　methods,　and　the　results　show　that　the　system　resilience　corresponding　to　the　restoration　priority　obtained　by　this　method　is　close　to　that　obtained　by　the　global　optimization　method　with　a　relative　difference　of　less　than　3%,　whereas　the　calculation　complexity　is　about　0.4%　of　the　optimization　model.　It　is　concluded　that　this　proposed　method　is　valid.
