A method and an apparatus for real-time data analysis of water pipe network are proposed. The method includes: step S1: obtaining a current flow data xi to be identified, where i is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; step S2: determining whether a first difference between the current flow data xi to be identified and a previous identified flow data xi−1 adjacent to the current flow data xi to be identified is less than or equal to a preset threshold; step S3: determining whether a second difference between a next to-be-identified flow data xi+1 adjacent to the current flow data xi to be identified and the previous identified flow data xi−1 is less than or equal to the preset threshold in response to the first difference being greater than the preset threshold.
