Abstract
Water losses in supply systems create difficult problems to water economy. The currently available approaches to this problem are inadequate and do not provide a comprehensive solution. The device built in this project is designed to detect leakages in water systems and stop them. First, the system analyzes based on a mathematical model the consumer’s average water consumption over a period of time. Then, the system keeps measuring and analyzing the water consumption in real time. In case it detects a great deviation from the average or steady water consumption over a period of time, it alerts the consumer by cellular communication – and if necessary disconnects the leaking system from the water supplier. Additionally, the system can send data about the consumption to a nearby computer by wireless communication.
