Water leakages captured with drone (Thermal)

[RamSchulz]

Hi!

I am going to visit a public waterplant, and I will try to make a test flight - whether it is possible to detect leakages with the XT2 Thermal camera and our M210 RTK.

Has someone any experiences within this field? BR

It's possible to find leaks with a thermal. In the summer when hot the water leaks will appear cold and in the winter vice versa.

Farmers with drones do this often to find broken irrigation lines and to look for too much watering in sections.

Thank you jaja6009.
What about the weather - shall I avoid sunny weather, or does it not matter? BR
