Automated Leak Detection System Using AI

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

According to engineers from NWC (national water company) in Saudi Arabia, 50% of the water transported in Saudi is lost along the transportation process, mainly due to leaks. This poses a large economic loss, and material loss with many collateral consequences that follow due to leakage of water in unwanted areas. This project aims to detect leaks in cutting edge speed, using flowmeters and an AI algorithm, and has a optimization model to place flowmeters at positions that maximize distance between flowmeters in order to reduce their number, and as a result reduce cost.
