Development of AI-based spatio-temporal forecasting systems that learn how water demand and leakage behaviour evolve across both time and interconnected network locations.

By combining deep learning, representation learning and network-aware modelling, the work aims to forecast demand, identify emerging leakage patterns and support earlier, more targeted operational decisions for reducing water loss and improving network resilience.
