An enhanced underground pipeline water leakage monitoring and detection system using Wireless sensor network

This paper describes about the design and implementation of a water leakage monitoring and detection system to monitor and detect leak with the help of wireless networked sensors. The objective of this enhanced system is to detect possible underground water leakage for residential water pipes that are monitored from a PC. Therefore, a robust and reliable Wireless sensor network which composes small Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), data from remote sensors of different types (acoustic, pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc.) are collected and monitored on a PC to detect the exact leakage position. Once a leak is detected, the water utility must take corrective action to minimize water losses in the water distribution system. Thus the proposed system will be used to save water and reduces the replacing cost.
