Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been mainly utilized in military applications due to its certainty and efficiency. Nowadays, it is considered to be the first-hand in many civilian applications such as leakage detection. Various technical issues, like power consumption, radio propagation models and sensors need to be considered for different types of applications. WSN has emerged lately as an effective solution for fluid leakage. This paper will discuss four different solutions for leaks in pipelines using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The WSN-based solutions are magnetic induction based, continuous pressure monitoring, underground to above ground radio propagation and wireless signal networks (WSiN).
