Leak detection is a research area focused on developing methods and technologies to identify and locate leaks in various systems or structures. This can include detecting leaks in pipelines, water distribution systems, industrial processes, and buildings. The aim of leak detection research is to prevent or mitigate the negative impacts of leaks, such as water loss, environmental contamination, and safety hazards. Researchers in this area may work on developing sensors, algorithms, and monitoring systems to accurately detect and locate leaks in real-time. Additionally, they may also investigate the factors that contribute to leaks and develop strategies for preventing them in the future.
