A Review on the Monitoring and localization of leakage in water distribution system

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the booming concepts in today's world. These concepts when embedded with technology can communicate and interact over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled. Primarily the Internet of Things offers new solutions for improving water management, to maximize effective use of this priceless resource. The major problem faced by today's municipal corporation is unidentified leakages in the water distribution system. It is therefore imperative that pipelines are effectively monitored so as to accurately detect and locate leakages in real time. The proposed system is to identify and detect the location of leakages in the pipelines during water distribution using IoT. In this system a raspberry pi is used as the master device to collect the data from different slave nodes and send the data to the cloud. A notification will also be received in the mobile through an app whenever a leak is detected and located. In this paper a thorough study has been made with the previously published research papers and a comparison is also made with their merits and demerits.
