Area Leakage Estimation in Water Distribution Systems: A Focus on Background Leakage

Raghavarshith Bandreddi Raziyeh Farmani

Abstrak

Leakage is a major issue faced by utilities across the world. Background leaks constitute a large component, and their small size makes it challenging to localize. This paper presents a hydraulic model-based approach to localize background leaks. The proposed methodology clusters nodes into leak groups using node-weighted spectral clustering and estimates background leakage in each leak group using optimization. The algorithm successfully localized 113 out of 118 background leaks (no leak size >0.28% of the bulk supply) and estimated the leakage amount using simulated data.
