TL;DR
An adaptive auto-calibration procedure is devised, which attempts to solve a two phase linear programming and mixed linear geometric programming problem and shows an accuracy, over likely domestic flow-rate scenarios, with long-term stability and a mean absolute error of 7%.
Abstract
Water is nature's most precious resource and growing demand is pushing fresh water supplies to the brink of non-renewability. New technological and social initiatives that enhance conservation and reduce waste are needed. Providing consumers with fine-grained real-time information has yielded benefits in conservation of power and gasoline. Extending this philosophy to water conservation, we introduce a novel water monitoring system, NAWMS, that similarly empowers users.

Distributed fault detection of wireless sensor networks
428 Citations2006Jinran Chen, Shubha Kher +1 more
A localized fault detection algorithm is proposed and evaluated that can clearly identify the faulty sensors in the wireless sensor networks with high accuracy and the probability of correct diagnosis is very high even in the existence of large fault sets.
Fault-tolerant clustering of wireless sensor networks
419 Citations2004Gunjan Gupta, Mohamed Younis
This paper proposes an efficient mechanism to recover sensors from a failed cluster that avoids a full-scale re-clustering and does not require deployment of redundant gateways.
IEEE Transactions on ComputersOn distributed fault-tolerant detection in wireless sensor networks
349 Citations2006Xi Luo, Ming Dong +1 more
This work proposes a fault-tolerant detection scheme that explicitly introduces the sensor fault probability into the optimal event detection process and mathematically shows that the optimal detection error decreases exponentially with the increase of the neighborhood size.

229 Citations2006James Fogarty, Carolyn Au +1 more
A new approach that "reaches into the home" via the existing infrastructure by deploying a small number of low-cost sensors at critical locations in a home's water distribution infrastructure, which can infer activities in the home based on water usage patterns.
Lecture notes in computer scienceAn Empirical Characterization of Radio Signal Strength Variability in 3-D IEEE 802.15.4 Networks Using Monopole Antennas
223 Citations2006Dimitrios Lymberopoulos, Quentin Lindsey +1 more
The results show that the often overlooked antenna orientation effects are the dominant factor of the signal strength sensitivity, especially in the case of 3-D network deployments, which suggests that the antenna effects need to be carefully considered in signal strength schemes.
