Abstract
Efficient management of urban drinking water networks is challenged by population growth, rising consumption, and leakage-related losses. This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol, covering research published between 2015 and 2025 on smart sensors and advanced techniques for leak detection and consumption optimization. From 788 initial records, 40 studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings indicate that acoustic, pressure, fiber-optic, and hybrid sensing enable real-time monitoring and accurate leak localization, with typical error margins between±1% and ±5%, depending on sensor type and hydraulic conditions. A marked shift toward artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is observed for optimal sensor placement, event classification, and prediction, achieving >95% accuracy. The cost analysis reveals a direct relationship between technological sophistication and required investment. Overall, integrating smart sensors with AI provides a promising pathway toward more sustainable, efficient, and resilient urban water management.OPEN ACCESS Received: 06/09/2025 Accepted: 30/10/2025
