Abstract
This study presents an intelligent system for predicting incident reports (IRs) in sectorized water distribution networks, such as drains in sidewalks, lack of pressure, lack of water, leaks, or others, based on pressure and flow data. Currently, incident detection in the industry is highly inefficient, as it is always performed reactively—only after an incident has already occurred and its negative consequences are visible to users. Since these data are recorded at 5- to 15-min intervals, a methodology is proposed to integrate them with daily IRs. After processing the data, a supervised classification learning system is developed with a binary output variable indicating the likelihood of an incident at a specific time step. The methodology is validated using 2 years of data from a real network divided into eight sectors. The system predicts 51.3% of IRs, with 78.9% accuracy, highlighting the strong influence of daily mean and maximum flows on incidents.
