    Abstract: A method for identifying the source of pressure transients in a water distribution network comprising a plurality of high-frequency pressure sensors installed therein. The method includes an acquisition step to acquire a plurality of pressures values for each high frequency pressure sensor during a preset time limit, said plurality of pressures values defining a sampled pressure variation record nearby each sensor during said preset time limit; a detection step for detecting transient events amongst the sampled pressure variation record; a grouping step for grouping detected transient events amongst the sampled pressure variation record; and a localization step for localizing the source of said grouped transient events in function of said sampled pressure variation records.

    Abstract: A method allowing data delivered by a rain gauge to be validated in real time is provided. The method includes steps of: receiving, in a defined time window, pluviometric data from a gauge and weather data from at least one weather radar; computing a coefficient of gauge/radar similarity between the pluviometric data received from the gauge and the weather data received from the at least one weather radar; comparing the value of the coefficient of obtained gauge/radar similarity to a threshold gauge/radar value; and validating the pluviometric data of the gauge if the value of the coefficient of gauge/radar similarity is higher than or equal to the threshold gauge/radar value.

    Abstract: A method is provided for placing sensors in a fluid distribution network by simulating network operating scenarios; by determining candidate sets of sensor positions; by determining the measurements of each sensor in each scenario, and the detection of associated anomalies; by attributing a score to each candidate set of sensor positions, representing the capacity of the sensors placed in the positions of the set to accomplish a mission. Finally, the candidate sets are modified using so-called genetic algorithms until a stop criterion is validated. The genetic algorithms can for example consist in crossing over or mutating candidate sets.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting domestic hot water use by a sanitary fitting during an observation period by analysing data relative to volumes of water passing through a water meter, the method including: receiving a first item of data, noted VΔ1, representing the maximum volume of fluid measured over a predetermined period, preferably equal to 5 minutes; receiving a second item of data, noted VΔ2, representing the maximum volume of fluid measured by the meter during another predetermined period, preferably equal to 15 minutes; and detecting that domestic hot water has been used when VΔ1>15 litres and VΔ2≥20 litres.

    Abstract: A device for detecting and characterizing anomalies in a water continuum is provided. The device is configured to receive measurements of physical quantities on the basis of sensors situated in the water continuum. The measurements are thereafter transformed, and a detection of anomalies is performed by a detector of anomalies which is trained with transformed values arising from the same sensors. In parallel with the detection, predefined rules make it possible to characterize a possible anomaly. Thus, an anomaly detection can be optimized for a water continuum in particular, whilst characterization with predefined rules allows the device to be operational without each anomaly having needed to be detected in this water continuum in particular.
