Description

The project will develop an airborne water leak detection surveillance service to provide water utilities with adequate information on leaks in water infrastructure outside urban areas, thus enabling prompt and cost-effective repairs.

WADI’s innovative concept consists in coupling and optimising off-the-shelf optical remote sensing devices (multispectral and infrared cameras) and applying them on two complementary aerial platforms (manned and unmanned) in an operational environment

Objectives

  • develop evaluation procedure based on data reliability and performance matrix
  • develop an airborne water leak detection surveillance service to provide water utilities with adequate information on leaks in water infrastructure
  • For more information: http://www.waditech.eu/

Results

  • airborne water leak detection surveillance service to provide water utilities
  • validation and demonstration in real settings

Next challenges

Develop comercial service to apply methods and tools from WADI
