WaterWiSe@SG: a WSN for Continuous Monitoring of Water Distribution Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the WaterWiSe@SG WSNbased system that is deployed within an operating water distribution network in Singapore. The system enables continuous monitoring of hydraulic parameters in the water distribution network and provides a real-life hydraulic testbed on which to perform field experiments. To date we have deployed 8 sensor nodes over a section of downtown Singapore, sampling pressure (and optionally acoustics and flow) at 2kHz to enable fine grained event detection analysis. The system integrates with an on-line hydraulic calibration system, which estimates and predicts the hydraulic state of the water distribution system. Our application-led approach to the design and implementation of WaterWiSe@SG has led to a reliable, visible and most importantly, usable system that has been deployed continuously for fourteen months as of June 2010.

متن کاملWavelet-based Burst Event Detection and Localization in Water Distribution Systems
In this paper we present techniques for detecting and locating transient pipe burst events in water distribution systems. The proposed method uses multiscale wavelet analysis of high rate pressure data recorded to detect transient events. Both wavelet coefficients and Lipschitz exponents provide additional information about the nature of the signal feature detected and can be used for feature c...
