Drones and Water Leak Detection
Drones offer the potential to be of great assistance in the UK when it comes to fighting the increasingly expensive war on water waste through pipe leakage. Anglian Water alone estimates the cost of water lost through leakage in their area to be in the region of £60 million so there is a strong financial as well as environmental incentive to cut the losses as fast as possible.
A number of the water boards have already been using drones in trials to pinpoint water leaks in hard to reach or rural areas. Temperature changes in the soil around a pipeline leak can be detected with thermal images cameras or standard photography can be used in an aerial survey to identify areas of standing water. Ground teams can then be immediately dispatched to the precise area that they are needed.

The use of drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras has revolutionized fire safety measures in solid waste landfill sites. These drones can detect temperature variations and hotspots, allowing operators to identify areas at risk of combustion and take proactive measures to prevent fires. Additionally, thermal imaging technology can detect thermal emissions and chemical and physical parameters, providing valuable data for monitoring and managing landfill sites. This technology has already shown promising results, reducing the number of fire incidents in landfill sites and minimizing environmental impact and health risks. As the technology continues to advance, drone environmental thermal imaging is expected to become an indispensable tool in solid waste landfill site management.
