Abstract
A method for identifying the source of pressure transients in a water distribution network comprising a plurality of high-frequency pressure sensors installed therein. The method includes an acquisition step to acquire a plurality of pressures values for each high frequency pressure sensor during a preset time limit, said plurality of pressures values defining a sampled pressure variation record nearby each sensor during said preset time limit; a detection step for detecting transient events amongst the sampled pressure variation record; a grouping step for grouping detected transient events amongst the sampled pressure variation record; and a localization step for localizing the source of said grouped transient events in function of said sampled pressure variation records.
