Abstract
This paper presents a new data-driven method forleak localization in water distribution networks. The methoduses the information provided by a set of pressure sensorsinstalled in some internal network nodes in addition to flow andpressure measurements from inlet nodes. Pressure measurements are recorded under leak-free network operation and a water distribution network data-driven model of the pressure at each sensed node is adjusted. The pressure estimation from this model is complemented by a Kriging spatial interpolation technique to estimate pressure in the nodes which are not sensed, leading to a pressure reference map. Leak localization is based on the comparison of this reference pressure map with the current pressure map which is obtained by applying Kriging directly to the pressure measurements provided by sensors. The key element in this comparison is the use of Dempster-Shafer theory for reasoning under uncertainty. The successful application of the proposed methodology to two real-data case studies is presented.
