1. A system for detecting at least one of a liquid in an area and the liquid exiting the area, the system comprising:

  • a first conductor; and

    a second conductor;

    wherein;

    absent the liquid, a magnitude of an impedance between the first conductor and the second conductor is greater than a threshold;

    a first portion of the first conductor and a second portion of the second conductor are positioned along a boundary of the area, the first portion is positioned a first distance from the second portion;

    a third portion of the first conductor and a fourth portion of the second conductor are positioned within the boundary, the third portion is positioned a second distance from the fourth portion; and

    in a presence of the liquid, the magnitude of the impedance between the first conductor and the second conductor is less than the threshold thereby indicating that the liquid is at least one of positioned within the boundary and the liquid is positioned outside the boundary.
