PROBABILITY OF SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE LEAKAGES AT SECTIONS OF WATER NETWORKS IN THE PROCESS OF LOCALIZATION OF HIDDEN WATER LEAKS
Hidden leaks from water supply networks account for 50% to 90% of total leakage losses. The presence of two or more simultaneous leaks in a section of the water supply network significantly reduces the accuracy of locating hidden leaks. The method of independent Poisson events and the hypothesis of stationarity, absence of consequences, and ordinariness of leaks are used for the probabilistic description of the problem of multi-leakage in water supply networks.
