How IoT Sensors Are Detecting Water Leaks in Ancient Aqueducts
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how IoT vibration and acoustic sensors are being deployed inside historic Roman aqueducts and modern urban water tunnels to detect micro-leaks before they become catastrophic failures. The conversation centers on a 2025 pilot project in the Aqua Virgo aqueduct in Rome, where a network of 200 low-power sensors monitored 12 kilometers of underground masonry for subtle flow changes and crack propagation. Lucas explains how the system uses distributed acoustic sensing and machine learning to distinguish between harmless condensation and dangerous structural…
