Abstract

Water is a limited and valuable resource henceforth it is essential to manage this resource because it is vital to human survival and it is almost an input for all production and processes in sectors such as Industry, Agriculture, Energy, etc. However, water consumption is lost due to failures in the water distribution line systems as these failures are mainly attributed to the pipe leakages and failure of the supply system itself. In this study, a Smart Water Usage Management System that can detect and locate water leakage is proposed. The said system implements an algorithm that primarily gathers data of behavioral relationship of flow rate in response to the position of the leak with the aid of flow meter sensor in a wireless sensor network.
