This article discusses the use of electro‐acoustic methods to detect leaks in a water supply system, using highly sensitive microphones to sense noise during the night to avoid environmental noise such as traffic, passers‐by, or other work taking place. Procedures for continuous monitoring of water pipe networks are discussed for both stationary and mobile monitoring, along with logger types and their use and operation, installation, readout variants, and data analysis.
