Abstract
Water Pipeline systems are critical infrastructure for the delivery of safe and reliable water to communities. However, these systems are vulnerable to leaks, bursts, and other failures that can lead to water loss, property damage, and disruptions in service. One key factor in the health and longevity of water pipeline systems is the maintenance of proper pressure levels. Monitoring pressure in water pipelines is essential for ensuring that the system is functioning properly, and for identifying potential issues before they become major problems. The development of IoT technology has opened new possibilities for monitoring water pipeline pressure. IoT devices can be designed to collect and transmit pressure data wirelessly, eliminating the need for manual data collection and allowing for real-time monitoring and early warning systems. This study aims to develop an IoT monitoring device for pressure rate profiling in water pipeline systems. The device utilized pressure sensor and GSM module to collect and transmit pressure data in real-time to a cloud-based data management system. Through laboratory experimentation, the developed monitoring system in this study was able to both detect and localize leakages with the possibility of monitoring the leakage over a mobile application. The device also exhibits an average pressure variation of 7.7 KPA which indicates a high consistency.
