Suspected Water Leak Warnings
Country-scale leak detection




Water utilities lose 20–40% of treated water to pipeline leaks — billions in lost revenue and wasted resource every year. The only commercial satellite leak-detection service today relies on tasking SAR satellites that cannot economically cover an entire national network at the frequency proactive management needs.
EarthToDate's 2m multispectral, derived from Sentinel-2, provides systematic global coverage every 2–3 days at a resolution matched to real leak signatures — without tasking requests or per-area pricing. Native Sentinel-2 at 10–20m cannot resolve a typical 2–8m leak; at 2m the same anomaly spans multiple pixels and becomes statistically detectable.
Detection prioritises soil moisture, which responds within days of leak onset, using NDMI and MSAVI plus a proprietary multi-index fusion calibrated for leak signatures, with vegetation vigour as secondary confirmation. Persistent anomalies along known pipeline routes — especially those uncorrelated with rainfall — generate high-confidence, geolocated alerts.
Delivered as a subscription: country-wide baseline from the historical archive, continuous 2–3 day monitoring, and alerts with confidence scores and persistence metrics, ready for GIS or existing utility platforms.
