Abstract

Detection and t
racing of leakage in the environment
are
essential component
s
of water loss
reduction strategies.
Industry standard techniques for tracing leaks include
analysis of chlorine and
trihalomethane concentrations, but levels of
these determinands can fall belo
w detection limits due
to their volatile nature
1
.
Consequently additional
tools to
trace
leakage in the environment are
a
useful step to move towards minimum losses.
