ABSTRACT
The need for an efficient Water Management System (WMS) is strongly felt by water utilities, municipalities and by medium to large scale corporates that have to face every day with problems dealing with water usage and supply [1]. Leveraging a sensor data network, an automated ystem to implement fault detection in a water network at an early stage can be a valuable tool that sves water, energy, time and money. This paper introduces a novel FDD (fault detection and ignosis) approach for water networks developed within the FP7 Waternomics Project by modeling awter network in the simulation environment EPANET and applying an anomaly detection loithm named ADWICE (Anomaly Detection With fast Incremental ClustEring) [2] to real time dt f water flow and pressure to infer performance and operational anomalies. The method is curnly being implemented at the Linate Airport water network in Milan, and initial results are preetd in this paper.
