Field Case Study To Validate A Geospatial Ap-proach For Locating Leakage In Water Distribution Networks - Field Data Collection And Modeling Analysis. Case Study In Shah Alam Malaysia

ABSTRACT It obvious to all people the importance of water as an essential element for the life so the water loss is a life-threatening and alarming predictor of the future. Leakage problem is one of the most important causes of water loss in water systems therefore it was and still a matter of attention of many researchers in search of the most effective methods to solve this problem using many techniques varied with one another in terms of accuracy cost and speed of obtaining results. This research paper refers to ongoing extensive research work to develop a new geospatial approach to detect leaks in water distribution networks and reviews a summary for field data collection procedures and modeling analysis within the field case study that has been done to validate the approach referred to.
