To support cross potential array and direct potential array, the array for leakage detection of all kinds of water facilities is proposed and it is named as the D-Lux array. The D-Lux array data are arranged to a coloured matrix and it is called the D-Lux view. Low potential difference of anomalous zone shown in D-Lux view implies the indication of leakage zone. Furthermore, for an intuitive interpretation of D-Lux array, equipotential distribution map is made by using D-Lux and direct potential array data. Equipotential distribution map makes us possible to predict import point, export point and the path of water leakage that we could have not anticipated in D-Lux view and the graphs. The water tank experiment and numerical analysis were carried out as preparatory experiment and the field explorations were conducted at a concrete weir and a fill dam. As a result, effective and specific detection of leakage path was possible for the concrete weir and the fill dam.

We have carried out integrated research including field survey and numerical modeling to appraise the applicability of SP method to the leakage problems of irrigation facilities. The leakage pattern of the dike studied here can be classified into the three categories: leakage through the abutment, leakage by piping through dike, and leakage due to the composite effects of landslide and distortion of the dike structure. for the numerical modeling to interpret quantitatively SP survey results acquired at dike, we have modified the computer code proposed by Sill (1983) to apply to the leakage problems. The numerical studies match the characteristic patterns of SP anomalies according to the leakage types and appear to be very useful to interpret the leakage zone and path. The SP monitoring results were also well coincided with tidal variations observed at every embankment so we found the SP method is quite effective not only to detect the leakage zone but also to determine the leakage trend. The numerical modeling results also reproduced the SP anomalies due to seawater leakage in the embankment.

최근 국내외에서 기상이변에 따른 물 부족에 대응하고 먹는 물의 생산과 공급 효율성 향상을 위하여 스마트워터그리드에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 경향으로 이는 상수도 인프라시설의 운영오류, 자연재해, 사이버를 통한 의도적 공격 등에 대해 안전하고 신뢰성이 높은 시스템을 구축하기 위한 것이다. 또한 상수도 분야에서는 스마트 미터링 개념을 도입하여 상수관망에서 발생되는 각종 사고나 물 손실을 저감하기 위한 노력이 시도되고 있는 실정이다. 일반적으로 누수량이 많을 경우에는 누수의 징후가 지표면에서 확인이 가능하나 미세한 경우 탐사장비의 운영이나 인력의 투입을 통해 가능하다. 물 공급계통인 상수관망에서 물 손실을 저감시키기 위한 방법중 하나로서 수도미터로부터 기록되는 물 사용량 데이터를 이용하여 누수패턴을 추출함으로써 누수감시가 가능하도록 하는 모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 이는 탐사장비에 의한 누수감지와 상호 보완적을 활용할 수 있는 것으로서 사용량 자료를 분석하여 사전에 처리된 자료의 노이즈와 결함 있는 계측값을 필터링시키는 기법이 도입된 것이며 신속한 감지를 통해 누수 지속시간을 감소시킴으로서 누수량의 저감을 목표로 한다. 물 공급 네트워크를 보다 더 효율적 만들 수 있는 누수 감시모형은 상수관망의 운영에 필요한 정보를 도출하기 위하여 보다 정확하고 다양한 수학적 및 통계적 분석을 기반으로 구성되어 누수 외에도 각종 결함을 찾아내는 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 향후 다양한 지역을 이러한 수용가의 물 사용량 미터링 결과를 토대로 실제 사용량과 누수량을 분리하여 분석함으로써 국내 실정에 적합한 누수감시 기술배발 토대를 마련할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 누수저감을 위한 실질적인 상수관망의 운영관리 효율향상의 정보로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

A small loop-loop multi-frequency electromagnetic(EM) induction method is a useful technique to map a resistivity distribution efficiently and non-destructively. However, for quantitative interpretation and depth sounding, the quality of measured data is crucial. In this paper, we propose a bias correction of measured data by using background noise measurements to obtain reliable data, and propose an evaluation technique of apparent that can provide a resistivity image easily. We have performed small loop-loop EM measurements to detect water saturation in a man-made test site. The application of our proposed techniques to the measured data was successful.

An abnormal seepage flow, which is mainly caused by the piping, is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failure. A leakage detection is therefore a vital part of an embankment dam's monitoring. Resistivity method, which is an efficient tool to detect leakage zones, has been used all over the world for an embankment dam's monitoring. Although the resistivity method gives us very useful information about the leakage problem, there is no more quantitative interpretation than the low resistivity zones in the 2-dimensional resistivity section are regraded simply as the anomalous seepage zones. Recently, resistivity monitoring technique is applied for the detection of leakage zones. However, its interpretation still remains in the stage of presenting the resistivity ratio itself. An increased seepage flow increases a porosity and an increasing porosity decreases the dam's stability. Therefore, the porosity is one of the major factors for an embankment dam's stability. Based on Archie's experimental formula, we try to evaluate a porosity distribution from the resistivity data which is obtained on the dam's crest. We also attempt to represent a procedure to evaluate a safety index of the embankment dam from the resistivity monitoring data.

Field measurement data on water leakage are not readily available and it causes inaccurate assessment of water demand and poor supply planning. In this study, the procedure for leakage detection and unaccounted water calculation is proposed and applied to a city. The city has suffered from the significant amount of leak water and the financial loss as a result. Measurements were made for pressure and flow at 18 locations before and after the repair. Repair of the leakage increased pressure up to $2.0kgf/cm^2$ and saved 17.1% of water supply from distribution reservoirs. Monetary value of annual water savings for the entire city amounts to 1 billion won. It is believed that leakage detection and data analysis conducted in this study will contribute to the change of current practice and to the establishment of better water supply management system.

Resistivity method is a practical and effective geophysical technique to detect leakage zones in embankment dams. Generally, resistivity survey conducted along the crest assumes that the embankment dam has a 2D structure. However, the 3D topography of embankments distorts significantly resistivity data measured on anywhere of the dam. In this study, we analyse the influence from 3D effects created by specific dam geometry through the 3D finite element modeling technique. We compared 3D effects when resistivity surveys are carried out on the upstream slope, left edge of the crest, center of the crest, right edge of the crest and downstream slope. We ensure that 3D effect is greatly different according to the location of the survey line and data obtained on the downstream slope are most greatly influenced by 3D dam geometry. Also, resistivity data are more influenced by the electrical resistivity of materials constituting reservoir than 3D effects due to specific dam geometry. Furthermore, using resistivity data synthesized with 3D modeling program for an embankment dam model with leakage zone, we analyse the possibility of leakages detection from 2D resistivity surveys performed along the embankment dam.

Resistivity method has been used for the dam safety inspection and, for the convenience of fieldwork, two-dimensional (2D) resistivity data has been usually measured along the dam crest. However, since the dam has three-dimensional (3D) structure, 2D resistivity survey along the dam crest violates 2D assumption and 3D effects caused by 3D topography and material properties in the dam distort the inversion result of 2D resistivity data acquired along the dam crest. Furthermore, it is really hard to evaluate the 3D structure of the dam and 3D leakage pathway using 2D resistivity survey because 2D resistivity survey can provide only 2D resistivity section beneath the survey line. In this study, 3D resistivity survey was conducted at a dam in Korea. By comparing the results from 3D and 2D resistivity surveys, merit and demerits of 3D survey were investigated. Finally, it was confirmed that 3D survey can provide more accurate information about the dam status and 3D leakage pathway compared to the 2D survey. Therefore the 3D resistivity survey should be actively expanded for more accurate dam safety inspection even though more time and expense are required.

Several types of methods such as resistivity survey, ground penetration radar, etc are used for detection of levee leakage and according to the river design guidelines detection of levee leakage is performed by measuring the hydraulic conductivity of levee soil. But, the former can not verify the leakage point and degree of saturation, the latter is an after treatment method. Movable sensor, which is a high-tech TDR system developed since 2000, can obtain directly the dielectric constant profile covering the whole depth of levee. In this study, laboratory and field model experiments were carried out using movable TDR sensor in order to evaluate the applicability as detection system of levee leakage, As the result, movable TDR system has proven to be 3 times more sensitive to water contents than dry unit weight, and the results conclude that the dielectric constant, water contents and density of the ground proved to have a correlation among them, and the dielectric constant is expected to be a basic data on detection of levee leakage.
