The introduction of smart water supply systems has provided a brand-new management model for the leakage control of urban water supply pipe networks. Through the integrated application of technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), real-time monitoring of pipe network operations, abnormal early warning, and precise positioning can be realized, which significantly improves the efficiency of leakage detection and repair. Studies have shown that smart water supply not only effectively reduces the leakage rate of pipe networks but also promotes the intensive utilization of water resources and the refined management of water supply enterprises. Focusing on the application of smart water supply systems in the leakage control of urban water supply pipe networks, this research mainly explores their technical paths, operation mechanisms, and practical effects, and puts forward optimization strategies and implementation suggestions. It is expected to provide references for the efficient operation and maintenance of urban water supply pipe networks and the sustainable utilization of water resources in China.
