ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for monitoring and locating the presence of fluids leaking from a containment vessel. A multiplicity of probes having conductive affinity are strategically oriented adjacent the containment vessel and periodic surveillance is made relying on conductivity of the sub-surface media within which the probes have been placed, such that disturbances in the conductivity correlate with migration of the leaking fluid. The method and apparatus may be utilized to detect migration of salinated fluids into a region where previously less salination existed. The probes can be oriented adjacent a surface and yet determine a conductivity of the sub-surface media at a plurality of different pseudo-points having varying depths. The presence, location and extent of a leak can thus be monitored.
