Smart water networks formed by fleets of acoustic sensors to detect developing cracks in water networks have grown rapidly in the past decade but are costly to install and maintain. This project aims to overcome this challenge by exploiting unused underground optical fibre cables that are ubiquitous in cities. The result will be low-cost and ready-made distributed sensing systems that protect critical water supplies, supported by intelligent data analytic algorithms that can translate real-time data into valuable information to optimise water asset monitoring. The research outcomes will stimulate a technological revolution in smart water networks, accelerate water digitalisation globally and bring significant economic and social benefits.

在过去十年中，由声学传感器组成的智能水网迅速发展，用于探测水网中正在形成的裂缝，但安装和维护成本很高。该项目旨在通过利用城市中无处不在的未使用的地下光纤电缆来克服这一挑战。结果将是低成本和现成的分布式传感系统，保护关键的供水，由智能数据分析算法支持，可以将实时数据转化为有价值的信息，以优化水资产监测。该研究成果将激发智能水网的技术革命，加速全球水资源数字化，并带来显著的经济和社会效益。
