Hydraulic failures in Water Pipeline System (WPS) can cause catastrophic environmental hazards. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are greatly deployed to maintain a Structural Health Monitoring of pipeline and supervise the WPS. Since, its implementation increases significantly, its energy consumption represents a critical challenge that should be imperatively investigated in order to ensure an efficient and seamless interconnection between sensor nodes. In this context, the data aggregation techniques are well-designed and various smart algorithms are developed to reduce the quantity of transmitted data and to minimize the energy consumption. In this paper, we combine between data aggregation and bio-inspired clustering algorithm in order to improve the WSN Lifetime.
