Water Leakage Evolution Based on GPR Interpretations

This document shows some aspects regarding water leakage time propagation through the underground, in controlled laboratory conditions, using a drilled PVC pipe, through the interpretation of GPR images. The extraction of relevant patterns is possible since GPR interpretations allow to obtain surfaces and volumes that can be easily identified by non-highly specialized personnel in the analysis of raw data. The results of this study are promising since they help promote the realization of techniques able to validate models for generation, distribution and prediction of water leaks in water supply systems using GPR as a non-destructive method.
