1. A flow monitoring system, comprising:

  • a first monitoring assembly having at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is operative to detect data representative of actual flow volume of a fluid substance at a first location;

    a processor in communication with the first monitoring assembly;

    a memory, wherein the memory is operative to store the data representative of actual flow volume and a detection time associated with said data; and

    a central computing device in communication with the first monitoring assembly, wherein the processor is trained to compare the actual flow volume with a predicted flow volume to yield a difference value, the predicted flow volume being dependent upon the data stored in the memory and the detection time associated with said data.
