Water Leakage Detection in Hilly Region PVC Pipes using Wireless Sensors and Machine Learning

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a water leakage or blockage detection system for hilly region. The main approach of the proposed system is to study the differences of vibrations generated through different water levels in pipes. We use wireless sensors to capture the vibration of PVC pipes while water flow through them. We apply machine learning algorithm on these vibration records to identify any interruption in the normal water flow due to leakage and blockage.
