“…Tests are conducted by varying the pressure from 3 to 10 bar with a constant water flow rate of 300 m 3 /hr. A research that compared the consumption savings of tap water using wireless sensor network has been conducted in Reference [5]. This research uses Rfbee sensors to gather data received from the water flow rate transducer, as a sender and a recipient of the data.…”

Abstract. Water distribution is generally installed through underground pipes. Monitoring the underground water pipelines is more difficult than monitoring the water pipelines located on the ground in open space. This situation will cause a permanent loss if there is a disturbance in the pipeline such as leakage. Leaks in pipes can be caused by several factors, such as the pipe's age, improper installation, and natural disasters. Therefore, a solution is required to detect and to determine the location of the damage when there is a leak. The detection of the leak location will use fluid mechanics and kinematics physics based on harness water flow rate data obtained using flow liquid meter sensor and Arduino UNO as a microcontroller. The results show that the proposed method is able to work stably to determine the location of the leak which has a maximum distance of 2 metres, and it's able to determine the leak location as close as possible with flow rate about 10 litters per minute. IntroductionWater is an essential element for every organism, the needs for providing a good water distribution system is a must. Sometimes, the condition in certain location does not allow us to create a good water distribution system on the ground and the development of constructions causes the current water distribution system to residentials, offices, and industry premises through pipes under the ground.Flow liquid meter sensor is one of the sensors that is used for this monitoring process. This sensor uses Hall Effect sensor inside it to measure the water flow rate and is placed on a pipe that has a diameter equal to the diameter of the sensor. The sensor will retrieve water flow data by analysing rotation count of the wheel. A microcontroller is required to process this data in order to know how the rate of water flow through [1]. Then the data will be sent by the microcontroller to the end node via internet access.Clean water is a critical requirement in human life. Commonly, water distribution is done through underground pipes, where the water pipeline will become more difficult to control than the one in the open space. This situation will cause a permanent loss if there is a disturbance in the pipeline such as leakage. Leaks in pipes may be caused by several factors, such as the age of the pipeline, improper installation, and the condition of the environment (natural disaster, etc.). Therefore, an efficient solution is required to detect and to locate the damage in underground pipeline system.

“…The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are networks of low cost, low power and appropriate for collecting data in harsh environments, difficult to access areas and researches, where the deployment and maintenance of wired infrastructure is not feasible or economically viable, volcano monitoring (Werner-Allenet al, 2005), fire detecting systems (Kaur et al, 2014)] and study of water consumption (Yano et al, 2014) are examples of WSN utilization. Although the independence of a wired infrastructure is a major attraction of WSNs, this can also constitute an important limiting factor regarding the lifetime of the network, since it is usually powered by batteries.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks are networks suitable for data collection in harsh environments, where it would be difficult or costly the deployment of wired infrastructure. In spite of these advantages, such networks often rely on batteries to operate, which may lead to a serious limitation on the networks lifetime. Bearing this in mind, in this article is proposed and tested a hybrid polling approach that reduces the number of frames transmitted by the router node. Thus, the router node lifetime can be extended significantly and hence the network lifetime. The proposed technique becomes progressively more advantageous, when compared to classical polling technique, as the number of network nodes increases. The experimental results obtained using a network with four nodes indicate a network lifetime increase of about 32.14%. Importantly, the sensor network lifetime extension increases the economic viability of the technology and thus makes it more accessible to potential users.
