We present a framework for in-pipe water monitoring and feedback system. The goal is to monitor the potable water contaminations and leakages within pipes and share this information to conserve water and improve the current water distribution system through feedback. This is achieved through a seamless integration of RFID based wireless motes into the water distribution network while going beyond the traditional methods of ultrasonic water monitoring systems. Based on this framework, a prototype PipeSense system is being developed. We describe the framework architecture and design of this system and present details of the current system implementation. We also discuss some feasibility results along with directions for future research and implementation.
