description A significant percentage of treated water is lost due to leakage in water distribution systems. The state-of-the-art leak detection and localization schemes use a hybrid approach to hydraulic modeling and data-driven techniques. Most of these works, however, focus on single leakage detection and localization. In this research, we propose to use combined pressure and flow residual data to detect and localize multiple leaks. The proposed approach has two phases: detection and localization. The detection phase uses the combination of pressure and flow residuals to build a hydraulic model and classification algorithm to identify leaks. The localization phase analyzes the pattern of isolated leak residuals to localize multiple leaks. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, we conducted experiments using Hanoi Water Network benchmark and a dataset produced based on LeakDB benchmark's dataset preparation procedure. The result for a well-calibrated hydraulic model shows that leak detection is 100% accurate while localization is 90% accurate, thereby outperforming minimum night flow and raw- and residual-based methods in localizing leaks. The proposed approach performed relatively well with the introduction of demand and noise uncertainty. The proposed localization approach is also able to locate two to four leaks that existed simultaneously. HIGHLIGHTS Water leak detection and localization (LDL) approaches based on a hybrid of hydraulic modeling and classification, and statistical approaches are proposed.; Combined residual data of pressure and flow are used to enhance LDL.; By separating the detection and classification phase, multiple leaks are localized.;
