Abstract

In a water supply system (WSS), water loss is inexorable, nevertheless, the volume of the water loss differ from one WSS to the other. Because of its association with financial loss, environmental concern and most importantly saving of the water resource, advanced computing tools and methodologies have been developed for sustainable management of water resource through leak localisation. Over the years, several research studies have been conducted proposing different methodologies for leak localisation in WSS. Amongst the previous methodology used, a model-based approach is cost-effective. Thus, this paper presents a literature synopsis on the model-based methodologies to localising leaks in WSS. We categorise the model-based methodologies under orifice discharge modelling, pressure measurement and leak sensitivity analysis, water audit and minimum night flow analysis, leak signature analysis, and optimisation approach. Numerous research studies in this category are discussed therein. Also, technical challenges and research gaps for further studies are introduced.
