Localization Techniques For Water Pipeline Leakages: A Review

An efficient water management system placed a great emphasize in the water distribution network efficiency. Water pipeline leakages is one of the prominent issues in water distribution network that has caught the interest to most researchers. A lot of research and studies have been conducted in the past few decades in addressing this issue with the objectives of detecting and localizing the leakages accurately and efficiently. Detecting the pipeline leakages is the first step and for a complete solution the detection must follow with the leakage localization. This paper reviewed some of the localization techniques that has been proposed, explored and studied. Each technique is reviewed and discussed, where challenges are highlighted. A localization technique using vibration sensor is also proposed.
