  The paper studies the problem of leakage localization in water distribution
networks. For the case of a single pipe that suffers from a single leak, by
taking recourse to pressure and flow measurements, and assuming those are
noiseless, we provide a closed-form expression for leak localization, leak
exponent and leak constant. For the aforementioned setting, but with noisy
pressure and flow measurements, an expression for estimating the location of
the leak is provided. Finally, assuming the existence of a single leak, for a
network comprising of more than one pipe and assuming that the network has a
tree structure, we provide a systematic procedure for determining the leak
location, the leak exponent, and the leak constant
