In this video I discuss the possibility of using ground penetrating radar (GPR) to detect a leak in a water or sewer pipe. The approach I outline here makes use of GPR's ability to view the subsurface as a 2D profile into the ground.
Two important points about this approach: 1) the GPR should collect data in the direction of the pipe and directly on top of it if possible, and 2) water should flow through the pipe for some time before a distortion of the reflection will occur.
In PART 2, I show how to use time-slices (or 3D visualization) to not only identify the leak location, but the direction of the leak plume. This is also an important technique for identifying contamination plumes when a fuel tank leaks.
