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.

Frequently asked questions

What is Suspected Water Leak Warnings?

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.

What data and resolution does Suspected Water Leak Warnings use?

Systematic national pipeline-leak detection from 2m moisture indices — no tasking, no per-area pricing. (Country-scale leak detection)
