This paper presents the development of a Digital Twin (DTwin) to detect and localize the leaks in water distribution networks (WDNs), using single-stage and two-stage data-driven models. In the single-stage model, we test the anomalies in the dataset using Logistic Regression and Random Forest. In the two-stage model, a linear regression model predicts pressure differences between sensor pairs in the first stage. Based on this, we compute the distribution of residuals. In the second stage, changes in the residual distribution are classified using Multinomial Logistic Regression and Random Forest models to compute possible leak locations’ posterior probabilities. We have tested these models on a real-time dataset.
