THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTELLIGENT MONITORING SYSTEM OF A LOCAL WATER SUPPLY NETWORK

The paper presents the development of monitoring, system of intelligent water supply network. The main task of this system is water leakage detection and localization. For inputs, this system uses information from flow, sensors, mounted on the pipeline network, while the output is a piece of information about leakage detection and localization. The main advantage of this system is a possibility of approximate leakage localization using only a limited number of installed sensors. The system is based on an artificial neural network which classified the states of network (leakage in defined part of network, no leakage). In the paper, some developments and attempts to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of this system, and develop the method of classifier building were, described.
