Applications
- 11.6.1 Water Network Leak Indicators — Using satellite-derived soil moisture, surface deformation and thermal anomalies to flag probable leak zones in buried water distribution networks before catastrophic failure.
- 11.6.2 Wastewater Plant Activity — Using multispectral and thermal satellite imagery to monitor operational status, effluent discharge and capacity stress at wastewater treatment facilities.
- 11.6.3 District Heating Performance — Using thermal infrared satellite imagery to monitor heat loss, pipe integrity and seasonal load efficiency across district heating networks at city scale.
- 11.6.4 Gas Distribution Surveillance — Using satellite methane sensors, thermal imagery and SAR to detect leaks, monitor compressor stations and map unauthorized taps across national gas distribution networks.
- 11.6.5 Telecom Tower Inventory — Using satellite optical and SAR imagery to detect, count and geolocate telecom towers across a national territory, independent of operator self-reporting.
