There are several ways to monitor a wastewater containment system for leaks. One common approach is visual inspections, where trained personnel visually inspect the containment system and liner for any signs of damage, cracks, or leaks. Another method is the use of leak detection technologies such as electronic sensors, which can detect moisture or changes in moisture levels that may indicate a leak.
Geophysical surveys, like ground-penetrating radar or infrared imaging, can also be employed to identify potential areas of leakage. Additionally, regular monitoring of key parameters such as water levels, pressure differentials, or flow rates can help identify any abnormalities that may suggest a leak.
