Abstract
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is capable of accurately pinpointing buried natural gas distribution piping leaks, without barholes. The very dry leaking gas can be "seen" at the source point by the radar via the changes in the surrounding soil's electrical parameters. A colorgraphic data format then displays the leak.
