Smart water networks - Monitoring of drinking water networks through advanced data analysis

Significant amounts of drinking water are lost due to leaks caused by broken pipes. The time required until pipes and other broken parts are repaired or replaced depends largely on the time needed to detect the fault and to find the location of the leak. This is partly due to the fact that the data is often processed manually using simple methods.

This project aims to reduce the time required to detect and locate faults in the drinking water network. Advanced data analysis is used to develop algorithms for processing data and finding trends that indicate leakage. This enables more automated monitoring of the drinking water network which will reduce the amount of drinking water lost due to leakage.
