Does geoelectric leak location work? Yes.

Here is a 2mm puncture hole located under a 150 mm layer of sand and a geocomposite.
The puncture, from the underside, was made by a stone between the geomembrane and the thick horizontal flange of a prefabricated sump.
How large was the stone? Not very, about half the size of a 1 cent coin, but it was angular.
