I. INTRODUCTION II. METHODOLOGY
Water plays an important role in our everyday life. In Our idea is to take necessary action to restore the
day-today life people don’t realize the scarcity of water leakage in underground pipelines with the help
water. In water management system, the water of raspberry pi. Based on GSM, the pipe monitoring
consumption and water monitoring are efficient system is located and then the hardware and software
mainly in home or office. Therefore, efficient use and design of the system is analyzed, the real- time
water monitoring are potential constraint for home or monitoring of Leakage-Detection in underground
office water management system. For survival of water-pipelines is improved by means of the effective
things water is most essential one. Surface water will design. At the same time, the modem monitoring
also help for our future needs. Water is synonymous system managements easily and flexibly for the
to life, as living objects cannot live without it. This requirement of this mode. The real-time monitoring
information is very useful for the better management for the traditional detection method by using this
for farmers to improve their lands and crops. Pipeline technology, the real time monitoring of underground
networks are the most economic safety, reliability and water pipe is detected and overcome the shortcomings
efficiency. If properly maintained, pipelines can last can be achieved. It also has the advantages like
indefinitely without leaks. Pipeline systems are manpower is less; and it promotes the efficiency of
responsible for transport water, oil and gas. The the system and locating the leakage pipe timely.

caused due to leakage in pipes. the problem if it is water leak or not. If the water
leakage is detected, it alerts the buzzer alarm and
sending a short text message (SMS) to the particular
concern using a GSM module.

and hence leaks, of buried water pipelines. Their
advantage over other commonly used leak detection
methods is that they have a degree of redundancy as
individual faulty nodes do not render the whole
system obsolete and allow for continuous monitoring
without operator intervention. This might be used to
determine the location of the leak. The sensor nodes
were successful deployed in field trials and they
collected temperature and relative pressure data.
This water leakage detection can readily use to
prevent the leakage in underground pipelines. To
identify the leaks and rectify it by this system. This

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
Raspberry-pi 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 liters per minute.
