Development of an Intelligent Water Leak Management System in Buildings

Abstract

Demand for water has increased vastly over recent decades. The increasing demand for water arising from global population growth and urbanization in recent years is stressing the water supply to its limits. On the other hand, water infrastructure such as pipes and water tank has been deteriorating due to aging. Under this condition, new technology in intelligent water leak management system in the building has been required to enable the distribution of high quality water to the user in a safe and cost effective. A trigger of the research of intelligent water leak management system was the peoples' demands to manage operation of water infrastructure more efficiently. This intelligent water leak management system in buildings is for monitoring the plumbing to detect leaks and breaks, both big and small leakage and which could shut off the water main through smartphone in the event of a burst pipe, also it could prevent the water tank leakage, it could end up saving homeowners a fair bit of money and work.
