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