Water distribution system is a network that supplies water to all the consumers through different means. Proper means of providing water to houses without compromising in quantity and quality is always a challenge. As it is a huge network keeping track of the utilization is difficult for the utility. Hence through this project we come up with a solution to solve this issue. Current technologies like Low Power Wide Area Networks, LoRa and sensor deployment techniques have been in research and were also tested in few rural areas but issues due to hardware deployment and large scale real time implementation was a challenge hence through this system we aim to create and simulate a real time scenario to test a sensor network model that could be implemented in large scale further. This project aims in building a wireless sensor network model for a smart water distribution system. In this system there is bidirectional communication between the consumer and the utility. Each house has a meter through which the amount of water consumed is sent to the utility board. The data has two fields containing the house ID and the data (water consumed); it is being sent to the data collection unit (DCU) which in-turn sends it to the central server so that the consumption is monitored in real time. All this is simulated using NETSIM and MATLAB.

To detect and locate the leakage of the pipe correctly, genetic algorithm is combined with Bayesian theory to determine the leaked pipes. Leakage detection and leakage location are carried out separately. Leakage detection is conducted based on the assumption that there is only one leaked pipe, and the simulation result demonstrates its feasibility. When the leakage detection demonstrates there is leaked pipe in the water distribution system, leakage location starts. Based on the information gathered by the manometers, leakage probability in different combinations of the virtual nodal demand can be fixed according to calculating the pressure of the monitored node, then GA is applied to search the maximum Bayesian value, the pipes with maximum Bayesian leakage possibility are believed to be leaked pipes. Optimization programme was made with combination of Matlab and Epanet, numerical simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The detection of water leakages in water distribution system has always been a challenge in the water industry as most water pipelines are laid foot underground which are normally unseen to human naked eyes until water starts to flow out from roads and creates puddles. The age in pipelines network is a major problem and the reduction of these has become a major priority for pipeline authorities around the world. This project method are developed based on pressure transient by using single pressure transducer and analyses on newly method of analyzing called synchrosqueeze wavelet transform (SWT) which is viable approach to detect and locate the leak in pipeline system. Transient analyses offer a plausible route towards leak detection due to their robustness and simplicity. The result show that newly developed techniques, SWT appears to improve the ability of the method to identify features in the signal.
