Tracking storm water events can be a challenge because of the inherent unpredictability of storms. Our analytical instrumentation supports the growing trend towards automating stormwater monitoring. Measuring flow, rain, level, or water quality can be accomplished in real time through an automated solution. This ensures events are captured as they happen, whether that is in the middle of the day or the middle of the night.
What Stormwater Solution is Right for You?
Communities have saved tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars by implementing a Stormwater Monitoring Solution.
In our experience, there are three types of Stormwater Monitoring: Event Monitoring, Continuous Monitoring, and Decision Support that is an extension of Continuous Monitoring. Read about each type below, including how real-world communities have designed their own purpose-built Stormwater Monitoring Solutions.
Event Monitoring
· Portable & easy to deploy: go where the storm system is · Be as simple as a single sensor with internal logging · May incorporate a ProSample automated sampler · Add a plug-n-play Storm datalogger with cellular telemetry to HydroSphere, where alerts and notifications can be added · Highly cost-conscious options are available
· Early flood warning alerts based on both monitored and modeled data · Bridge and Road submergence monitoring capabilities · Flood mapping at the parcel or roadway for risk assessment · Automated “High Water” street sign flashing based on real-time water levels
· Fixed monitoring stations at critical sites of interest, often in a network of sites · Multiple sensors or samplers are possible, and flexibility to change them at any time · Programmable dataloggers with cellular telemetry to HydroSphere, with alerts and notifications · Optional installation of conduits, platforms, and other critical infrastructure · Data quality control and basic analytical services as needed
