Risk assessment and leakage prediction system of the water distribution system of Changzhou, China.

In order to improve the application efficiency of intelligent monitoring equipment, leakage early warning system and water loss estimation methods under flow monitoring in different water supply areas are explored. Pressure monitoring provides risk alerts regarding unusual activity in the water distribution system in an effort to lessen or prevent catastrophic pipe bursting incidents. The location of leak points can be more accurately identified with the help of hydrophones or leak noise loggers. Furthermore, on the basis of the continuous improvement of hydraulic monitoring, a technical way to predict water quality changes through hydraulic monitoring is being developed.
