AUTOMATED LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF WATER NETWORK MANAGEMENTWaternomics
The need for an efficient Water Management System (WMS) is strongly felt by water utilities, municipalities and by medium to large scale corporates that have to face every day with problems dealing with water usage and supply [1]. Leveraging a sensor data network, an automated system to implement fault detection in a water network at an early stage can be a valuable tool that saves water, energy, time and money. This paper introduces a novel FDD (fault detection and diagnosis) approach for water networks developed within the FP7 Waternomics Project by modeling a water network in the simulation environment EPANET and applying an anomaly detection algorithm named ADWICE (Anomaly Detection With fast Incremental ClustEring) [2] to real time data of water flow and pressure to infer performance and operational anomalies. The method is currently being implemented at the Linate Airport water network in Milan, and initial results are presented in this paper.

m2)“;
2. "I wonder what our leakage rate is per ??" ;
3. "Can I get a figure for our annual environmental report on
consumption/emissions/leakage/waste , 2013 v 2014?“;
4. "I want to graph how we are doing on our targets for water use and
associated cost and compare 2012,13&14?";
5. "What investments do I need to make to improve our % efficiency“;
6. "What were the number of faults that were detected by the automated
fault detection and diagnosis system and which of these are currently
open at the moment?“.
• Confirming these user requirements is key to Waternomics Information Platform and the
overall project methodology. (min data sets, functions, meter placement, etc.) – possibility
