SYDNEY, May 6 (Xinhua) An Australian dog with the rare and invaluable ability to sniff out leaky pipes has saved an estimated 880 million liters of water in one of the world s driest regions.
Kep, officially the nation s first leak detection dog, has discovered more than 90 non-visible leaks throughout water pipes in the state of Western Australia (WA).
As an employee of Water Corporation, Kep along with her handler Andrew Blair, have surveyed more than 900 km of water mains since 2018.
The duo works in rural and remote areas where there are long stretches of buried pipelines and where regular acoustic leak detection methods are less effective or cost prohibitive.
New concrete water tank affords greater protection against cyclone damage
New tank replaces 39-year-old steel plate tank damaged by Tropical Cyclone Damien
Part of $265.3 million McGowan Government water infrastructure investment across North-West
The security of Karratha’s water supply will be enhanced with an improved cyclone-proof water storage tank for the city, announced today by Water Minister Dave Kelly.
The McGowan Government, through the Water Corporation, is funding the new 20 million litre tank to replace one damaged by Cyclone Damien last February.
The tropical cyclone extensively damaged the roof of the previous 39-year-old steel plate tank, rendering it uneconomic to repair. The new tank, with concrete walls and roof, will better withstand severe weather events and require less maintenance.
