RESUMO:

Water distribution networks are built to constantly supply sufficient water to users with acceptable pressure and quality in the most economical way possible. However, there are water losses through leaks in urban water distribution networks. Thus, an efficient and effective water loss control is a priority to improve the supply of drinking water. In this context there are several ways to detect and analyze the various types of leaks. Among the main methods of detection are mass and volume balance, acoustics, and geophysical methods, which have been gaining strength as a way of assisting decision making in connection with engineering. Among the geophysical methods, the electrical resistivity technique is widely used, due to its simple physical principle and efficient data acquisition. Thus, the objective of this work is to detect leaks in a treated water pipe located in the city of Nova Lima, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, using the electrical resistivity method. To do so, we intend to compare the technique of electrical tomography with an adaptation to the technique proposed by other authors.
