The dataset is comprised of a large number of artificially created but realistic leakage scenarios, on different water distribution networks, under varying conditions. Additionally, a scoring algorithm was developed in MATLAB to evaluate the results of different algorithms using various metrics. The usage of the LeakDB dataset, is demonstrated by scoring four detection algorithms. The source code of the toolkit that generates the leakage benchmark dataset, as well as the detection algorithms used, are released as open source.https://github.com/KIOS-Research/LeakDB
