METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SEARCHING FOR WATER LEAKS BASED ON SECONDARY COSMIC RADIATION MEASUREMENTS
The invention relates to a method (2) for searching for leaks in the water pipeline network, which comprises: acquiring georeferencing data of a water pipeline network and data indicative of georeferenced secondary cosmic radiation measurements carried out in a region of the earth's surface where said water pipeline network extends (block 21); carrying out a processing of the acquired data and generating, based on the processing carried out, a georeferenced digital map imaging the water pipeline network and soil moisture content in the region where said water pipeline network extends (block 22); and detecting and locating one or more leaks in the water pipeline network based on the georeferenced digital map generated (block 23) . In particular, carrying out a processing of data acquired includes estimating the soil moisture content in the region where the water pipeline network extends based on the data indicative of the secondary cosmic radiation measurements carried out in said region, using correction factors for the measurements which take into account: radial and anisotropy sensitivity effects of the georeferenced secondary cosmic radiation measurements carried out; values of air humidity, atmospheric pressure and intensity of the incident secondary cosmic radiation detected simultaneously to execution of said measurements in the region where the water pipeline network extends or in positions of the earth's surface where said measurements are carried out; effects related to the presence of vegetation and/or artificial or natural humidity.
