Faculty of Engineering, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad Alireza Monavarian Civil Engineering Department, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad Journal Article 2017 09 17 Water loss has been changed into a global concern in recent decades [1]. Since water demand has been increased, it is necessary to manage its consumption patterns to overcome this problem. The most important part of managing water consumption, is to decrease the water loss. In this paper a new idea has been presented to detect the leakage location and its quantity in a water distribution network, using nodal pressures analyzes in two cases of with and without leakage discharges. The results have shown that this method not only can determine the location of leaky node, but also the leakage quantity, by using nodal pressure data.
