Management of water resources and water distribution networks is important as Australia and the world face increasing water shortages. A significant aspect of water management is prevention of supply losses in urban and non-urban water distribution networks - a vital factor in improving water security of Australian cities and agricultural production regions. This research will develop ultrasonic flow-velocity technology, which can be retrofitted to existing water distribution networks, providing distributed high precision water flow measurement systems that can prevent the loss each year of more than 155GL of water through leaks and burst in Australia's capital cities alone.

随着澳大利亚和世界面临日益严重的水资源短缺，水资源和配水网络的管理非常重要。水资源管理的一个重要方面是防止城市和非城市供水网络的供水损失，这是改善澳大利亚城市和农业生产地区水安全的一个重要因素。这项研究将开发超声波流速技术，该技术可以改造现有的供水网络，提供分布式高精度水流测量系统，仅在澳大利亚的首都城市，每年就可以防止超过155 GL的水因泄漏和爆裂而损失。
