⦿ Characterization and Diagnosis of Pipe Anomalies

       (RGC Project no. 15200719)

This is a fundamental research funded by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC), which aims to:

(1) Characterizing and separating the transient responses of different pipe anomalies, including leakage, blockage, unknown branch and pipe wall deformation;

(2) Developing holistic transient-based method for the detection of multiple and different pipe anomalies in urban water supply systems (UWSSs);

(3) Validating and applying the developed method in UWSS under various system and flow conditions.

☸ Smart Urban Water Supply Systems (Smart UWSS)

      (RGC Theme-Based Research Scheme Project no. T21-602/15R)

Theme-based research scheme (TBRS) project sponsored by the Hong Kong RGC (with HK$33.225 million, 5 years). This is a joint research project by HKUST (leading), PolyU, CUHK, and other overseas universities. The project is proposed under the background that the Hong Kong UWSS leak water at an annual cost of more than HK$1 billion. This funded project aims to develop the next generation of UWSS—Smart UWSS—that are better built, instrumented, operated and managed, and where leaks and potential system failures can be reliably and timely diagnosed; and to support the Hong Kong’s “WIN” vision (Water Intelligent Network).
