Leak detection
Finding where water is escaping from pipes. Methods range from flow analysis, such as minimum night flow in a DMA, to listening sticks, ground microphones, noise loggers and leak correlators that pinpoint a leak between two contact points on the pipe.
Why it matters
Many leaks never surface; the water drains into soil or sewers. Systematic detection finds these hidden leaks before they grow into bursts.
