WADI

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 and applying them on two complementary aerial platforms (manned and unmanned) in an operational environment. The surveillance service developed by WADI will be tested through leak detection campaigns on two pilot sites in France and Portugal.
