contents In this paper, we introduce a novel mechanism that uses machine learning techniques to detect water leaks in pipes. The proposed simple and low-cost mechanism is designed that can be easily installed on building pipes with various sizes. The system works based on gathering and amplifying water flow signals using a mechanical sound amplifier. Then sounds are recorded and converted to digital signals in order to be analyzed. After feature extraction and selection, deep neural networks are used to discriminate between with and without leak pipes. The experimental results show that this device can detect at least 100 milliliters per minute (mL/min) of water flow in a pipe so that it can be used as a core of a water leakage detection system.
