Water leak detection method in water distribution network

Abstract Leakages attribute to one of major component of which is of major problems in water industry. Today water leakages issued are listed in top priority in many water operator worlds widely. This study provides review of the leak detection method and technology. Leakages cause a massive cost economically and operationally. Leakages also a sign of water operator operationally efficiency. Therefore, this topic has attracted a lot of attention by the academician researcher or water industry expertise over the past years to study and lastly to invent latest technology is ease operation. In need to find the fast result and economical to determine the leakage. There are many methods to detect a leakage such as sound, acoustic, vibration, sensor, pressure, etc. We herewith studied as many useful research papers in this field and trying to address the available method to detect the leakages. Leakages will lead numeral of customer’s complaint and will reflect negative perspective of water operator operational efficiency. Hence, consumers are being the sensor to leakages that happens throughout the networks. Current technology integrated with the engineering principle, using sensors to monitor distribution networks are most recommended method and will ease the monitoring of water network systems. Real time-based sensors will notify any incidence and the algorithm will forecasted leakages before the its been visualised and notified. In this review shall include the real time-based leak detection method and wireless water network technology for references.
