Project Motivation
The problem:Existing Leak detection systems of water municipalities are very costly due to the response time to leaks
Resulting in billions
of cubic meters of water is lost every day in outdated and unsupervised water distribution networks around the world.
Why is this important?
Water is the most important resource required to sustain a healthy population.
The Water Leak Detection Sensor Sonic Spectrogram project hopes to help greatly reduce the response
times to leaks
by creating
a
graphical representation of the acoustical activity within the pipes it is monitoring sending alerts to the user real time at start of the
leak
.
Project # 1.7Slide5
Sponsored by SENSCO Solutions
SENSCO’s Water Leak Detection Sensors Sonic Spectrogram project can be implemented into any water distribution network, instantly providing improved response times to leaks through:Instant leak detection
Details of the leak and its locationSENSCO developed and provided the Water Leak Detection Sensors (WLDS) and the Bridge Unit.

Constraints
Types of pipes used and the type of earth surrounding a particular pipe. The four main types of pipes in San Marcos include cast iron, ductile iron, asbestos concrete, and PVC; each of these having unique properties as to how far it propagates and dampens sound vibrations
.Depending
on the type of earth which will surround a given WLDS module, some types of earth may cause more dampening than others. Before
any pipe can be excavated, or any WLDS modules placed, a range of permits must be acquired from the proper authorities.
