Water leak detection systems and methods for an internal cabin of an aircraft

A method of detecting a water leak within a vehicle, the method comprising:

• communicatively coupling a control unit with one or more sensing devices configured to detect water flow from a water supply system to one or more water-drawing components within one or more areas of the vehicle;
• communicatively coupling the control unit with one or more shut-off valves disposed on or within the water supply system;
• communicatively coupling the control unit with the one or more water-drawing components;
• and
• operating, by the control unit, the one or more shut-off valves to stop the supply of water to the one or more water-drawing components in response to the one or more sensing devices detecting the water flow when the one or more water-drawing components are not in use.

A water leak detection system for a vehicle, the water leak detection system comprising:

• one or more sensing devices configured to detect water flow from a water supply system of the vehicle to one or more water-drawing components within one or more areas of an internal cabin of the vehicle;
• one or more shut-off valves disposed on or within the water supply system;
• and
• a control unit in communication with the one or more sensing devices, the one or more shut-off valves, and the one or more water-drawing components, wherein the control unit is configured to operate the one or more shut-off valves to stop the supply of water to the one or more water-drawing components in response to the one or more sensing devices detecting the water flow when the one or more water-drawing components are not in use.
