SINGAPORE: More than 320 sensors have already been installed in Singapore’s potable water supply pipelines to detect water leaking from them, national water agency PUB said.
To further reduce the amount of water lost through leakage, the installation of sensors will be extended to include the NEWater pipeline network over the next three years, the agency added.
The sensors are able to measure the flow rate and the pressure of the water, as well as detect the noise made when water escapes through cracks in the pipes.
Data collected from the wireless sensors are sent to the PUB’s command centre, which monitors the condition of the pipes.
