Abstract: Established water distribution systems (WDSs) typically consist of pipelines buried underground that are aging and deteriorating, and as such, it is difficult to assess their condition for maintenance and replacement. This ...

Abstract: Leak detection is crucial in reducing water loss and improving the efficiency of water transmission in water distribution systems. A hydraulic transient paired-IRF (impulse response function) technique previously developed ...

Abstract: Detection of anomalies in pipe networks (leaks, blockages, and wall deterioration) is critical for targeted pipe section replacement and maintenance in water distribution systems. A hydraulic signal-processing approach, ...

Abstract: Pipe wall condition assessment is critical for targeted maintenance and failure prevention in water distribution systems. This paper proposes a spatially distributed pipeline condition assessment technique using persistent ...

Abstract: Detection of anomalies, such as leaks, blockages and deteriorated sections, in underground water pipe networks and long transmission mains is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a novel method for anomaly detection ...

Abstract: Pipeline leak detection is critical for targeted maintenance and water loss reduction within water distribution systems. This paper proposes a hydraulic transient, impulse response function (IRF)–based, signal analysis ...
