Abstract [eng] Water is an essential resource that is necessary for human life, agriculture, and industry. Numerous countries confront water shortages and inefficient water usage. Anomalous water usage detection is an important task in the efficient management of water resources and the prevention of water leaks. In this publication, we present a comparison between various machine learning models to detect unusual patterns in water usage data. All the machine learning models were tested on a real-world water usage dataset. The performance of each model was evaluated by accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, ROC AUC, and MAE scores. The results indicate that PCA outlier detector can accurately detect uncommon patterns in water usage data. Our results outlined in this paper might be utilized by either individual homeowners or water utility corporations to detect water leaks more quickly and hence minimize water wastage.
