Abstract: In recent years wireless sensors are becoming more widely used to monitor water distribution systems in the water supply industry. When sensors are installed in areas where electric power supply is lacking and/or battery ...

Abstract: Automatic burst and leak detection in water distribution systems plays an important role in water saving and management. This research develops a novel burst detection method of using adaptive Kalman filtering on hydraulic ...

Abstract: Flow measurement data at the district meter area (DMA) level has the potential for burst detection in the water distribution systems. This work investigates using a polynomial function fitted to the historic flow measurements ...

Abstract: In recent research, the residual of the Kalman filter applied to flow measurements in water distribution systems has been found to strongly correlate with bursts. A positive residual represents an unexpected extra flow, ...
