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.

由声学传感器组成的智能水网络在过去的十年中迅速增长，但安装和维护成本昂贵。该项目旨在通过利用无处不在的城市无处不在的地下光纤电缆来克服这一挑战。结果将是智能数据分析算法支持的低成本和现成的分布式传感系统，可保护关键水供应，这些算法可以将实时数据转化为有价值的信息以优化水资源监测。研究结果将刺激智能水网络的一场技术革命，在全球范围内加速水数字，并带来巨大的经济和社会利益。
