Non-linear real-time expert water management telematics system for leaks control

摘要

The design of a non-linear real-time expert water management telematics system is proposed, in order to minimize the waste of 15% to 40% of the water supplies in the ground pipe networks, because of the leakage. This expert system will work by using the step testing method, and it will be therefore possible to determine the approximate location of leakage for every big urban area. Furthermore, ARC/INFO Geographic Information Systems (GIS) working under the UNIX-operating system in X-Windows are used in the Workstation of the Central Station (CS) in order to handle data. The proposed real-time expert system will be non-linear in its responses and a part of the programming language will be fourth generation real-time software working under real-time logic.
