Underground leakage from storage tanks can cause a major threat to our health. Gas stations have underground tanks that hold toxic waste such as gasoline that contain benzene and toluene. These chemicals can cause cancer and affect growing children if they leak into our drinking water. There are underground cleanups but these chemicals quickly through the soil going into the ground water. One gallon of petroleum can contaminate one million gallons of water. One pin prick sized leakage in a tank can leak 400 gallons of fuel in a year and more than one million people drink ground water where delayed clean ups threaten the water quality. There is no safe level of exposure to these toxins that don't cause harm. USTs (underground storage tanks) are one of the most serious threats to our country's water supply. Most tanks were made out of weak steel that rust after 10 years. The most common places that have USTs are gas stations, dry cleaners, service stations, airport and truck refueling stations, and homes. The tanks can also give off gases in homes, contaminate recreational water bodies, and can decrease property values. The leakage of flammable products can cause fires and possible explosions.
Yes, a loose neutral wire can effect the operation of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker.
Fiberglass underground storage tanks for gasoline storage are expected to last 30-years. After this amount of time regulations require their replacement.
Seat leakage is defined as leakage that is internal to a valve-between the inlet and outlet sides of the valve-when the valve is in its closed position. It is not limited to leakage across the valve seat, but also encompasses all leakage across the valve trim when the valve is in the closed position. Leakage across internal trim seals, such as piston rings, and across trim-to-body seals, such as gaskets, can be counted as seat leakage. It is important to note that, while leakage through valve stem packing is of growing concern in the industry, governing industry standards address this type of leakage separately and do not consider it to be a form of seat leakage.
by measuring the insulation resistance then by usig the formula for finding leakage current leakage current =voltage applied /resistance measured by megger.
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
The leakage current in underground transmission line are any two conductors separated by an insulating medium. It constitutes a condenser and a capacitor.
The term leakage effect has to do with tourism and the loss of revenue to other countries. The way a country makes up for leakage is to have hotels in foreign countries.

No. It is a storage root.

Air or fluid leakage.
If you're asking about an UNDERGROUND storage facility, it would be an aquifer.
