Pipeline Condition Assessment by Instantaneous Frequency Response over Hydroinformatics Based Technique—An Experimental and Field Analysis

A common issue in water infrastructure is that it suffers from leakage. The hydroinformatics technique for recognizing the presence of leaks in the pipeline system by means of pressure transient analysis was briefly explored in this study. Various studies have been done of improvised leak detection...
