Methods of leak detection
- Data analysis: analyzing large amounts of data to identify patterns or anomalies that may indicate a leak.
- Imaging analysis: using specialized imaging techniques, such as thermal imaging or X-ray imaging, to detect heat signatures or other signs of leakage.
- Social media monitoring: tracking social media accounts to identify trends or patterns that may indicate a leak.
