Inline electric leak detection in the water distriubtion network

RESEARCH GOALS
This project aims to develop a new inline leak detection method to
use in the water distribution network with a particular focus on nonmetallic materials. Some of the research questions that need to be
answered in this project include:
Where and how do leakages occur in the non-metallic components
of the WDN?
Can the proposed methods detect leakage in a controlled lab
environment?
Can the proposed methods detect microcracks, is that useful?
How can the sensors be optimised to deliver the best performance?
Can the proposed methods work in the field?
A desirable outcome of the project is demonstrated visually in the
graphical abstract shown in Figure 2.
