Abstract
This paper describes the design, development, deployment and performance assessment of a
prototype system for monitoring the 'health' of a water distribution network based on the
temperature distribution and time-dependent variations in temperature across the network. It
has been found that the water temperature can reveal unusual events in a water distribution
network, indicated by dynamic variations in spatial temperature differential. Based on this
indication it is shown how patterns of changes in the water temperature can be analysed using
AQUIS pipeline distribution software and used in conjunction with hydraulic (e.g. flow and
pressure) sensors to indicate the state of ¿health¿ of the network during operation.
