Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Water management Date 2012-12-31 Abstract An algorithm which compares measured and predicted water demands to detect pipe bursts was developed and tested on three data sets of water demand and reported pipe bursts of three years. The algorithm proved to be able to detect bursts where the water loss exceeds 30% of the average water demand in the area. The accuracy depends on the acceptable number of false alarms By simultaneously running the algorithm in adjacent supply areas, and combining the monitoring results the number of false alarms could be reduced.
