Prevention rather than cure
Article Abstract:
There are no British standards for water detection equipment but systems should conform to basic guidelines. Systems should be easy to install, should give timely, audible and visual alarms, be able to indicate the quanitiy and location of the leak and have battery back-up in case of mains failure. There are two types of system, cable and point. Cable systems can be long conductor with is cheaper but locate the leak less accurately or linear leak measurement systems. Point systems are highly specific and are cheaper than cable systems.

The UK has had along tradition of welcoming refugees, but this has changed and asylum seekers are detained in increasing numbers. This may be to function as a deterrent to seek to prevent more asylum seekers from entering the UK.
