Finding underground water leakage using K-nearest Neighbor approach based on network summarization

Abstract

Water distribution is generally installed through underground pipes. Monitoring the underground water pipelines is more difficult than monitoring the water pipelines located on the ground in open space. This situation will cause a permanent loss if there is a disturbance in the pipeline such as leakage. Leaks in pipes can be caused by several factors, such as the pipes age, improper installation, and natural disasters. Therefore, a solution is required to detect and to determine the location of the damage when there is a leak. so that we used water flow sensor .  Water systems all over the world experience water losses. Leakage is the most common  reason of water loss. This paper presents a study conducted for detection of water leaks, and identification of their respective locations in underground pipelines using Water flow sensor.
