Analyzing the causes of urban water distribution network and taking the measures of leakage control are one of most serious issues which China water industry has been facing for a long time. This paper proposes a theory of blind source separation, which is applied to calculate the leakage of water distribution networks, special leakage experimental platform of water distribution networks is established. Fast independent component analysis method (FastICA) was successfully used to separate the physical leakage from total node flow, which provides a powerful support for reducing physical leakage.
