Leviathan's COO Gadi Hareli sits next to an in-pipe hydroelectric turbine during an interview with Reuters in Neve Shalom, near Jerusalem October 22, 2009. Outside a small town near Tel Aviv, a pilotless drone aircraft with a three-foot (1-metre) wingspan collects data from hundreds of gauges. A single technician with a laptop monitors the flight from the ground and receives an instant picture of the town's system, including, he says, a house with a leaky toilet. A plane that reads water meters -- as well as a tiny turbine that can generate electricity from within water pipes -- are among technologies Israeli companies are developing to help save billions of dollars in water lost from leaky pipes.
