© 2014 IEEE. This paper proposes a data driven machine learning model for spatial prediction of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in a gravity sewer system. The gaseous H2S in the overhead of the gravity sewer is modelled using a Gaussian Process with a new covariance function due to constraints of sewer boundaries. The covariance function is proposed based on the distance between two locations computed along the lengths of the sewer network. A mutual information based strategy is used to choose the best k sensor measurements and their locations from among n potential sensor observations and their locations. This provably NP-hard combinatorial sensor selection problem is addressed by maximizing the mutual information between the selected locations and the locations that are not selected or do not have any sensor deployments. A proof-of-concept study was carried out comparing the spatial prediction of H2S with a complex model currently used by Sydney Water. The proposed approach is shown to be effective in both modelling and predicting the H2S spatial concentrations in sewers as well as identifying optimal number of H2S sensors and their locations for a required level of prediction accuracy.
