Abstract
Utility companies lose approximately 35 liters of water for every 100 produced due to incorrect, illegal connections and the poor condition of pipes. This study develops an intelligent model to detect leaks using the Kalman filter, BiLSTM neural networks, and the Monte Carlo Dropout algorithm. Using data from the Empresa de Acueductos y Alcantarillados de Bogotá (EAAB), Colombia, autocorrelation analysis, PCA, cluster analysis, ADF and Durbin-Watson tests, Hurst exponent, spectral analysis, and wavelet transform were performed. Then, Kalman filtering techniques were applied, and a BiLSTM architecture controlled with Monte Carlo dropout was implemented. The results showed an accuracy of 87.48% in training and 80.48% in validation. Temporal analysis revealed a stationary behavior in the flow series, and the decrease in spectral intensity around 0.25 Hz was related to pressure perturbations caused by leaks. A detailed evaluation of pressure and flow signals identified leak patterns with high precision, demonstrating the effectiveness of the wavelet spectrogram in detecting energy disturbances. The novelty of the study lies in the integration of advanced artificial intelligence and combinatorial optimization techniques to improve water resource management, allowing early and accurate detection of leaks, significantly improving compared to traditional methods.
