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, ...
