Yes / This paper describes an automated event detection and
location system for water distribution pipelines which is based upon
low-cost sensor technology and signature analysis by an Artificial
Neural Network (ANN). The development of a low cost failure
sensor which measures the opacity or cloudiness of the local water
flow has been designed, developed and validated, and an ANN based
system is then described which uses time series data produced by
sensors to construct an empirical model for time series prediction and
classification of events. These two components have been installed,
tested and verified in an experimental site in a UK water distribution
system. Verification of the system has been achieved from a series of
simulated burst trials which have provided real data sets. It is
concluded that the system has potential in water distribution network
management.
