Measuring resources and conditions.
WHAT IS MONITORED
Tank and reservoir levels Flow through pipes Water quality indicators Rainfall Air quality River and flood levels
WHAT IT ENABLES
Detecting leaks and losses Scheduling supply and delivery Warning of flooding Evidence for planning
WHY LEAK DETECTION MATTERS
Unaccounted water loss is substantial in most distribution systems.
HOW IT IS DETECTED
Comparing flow at points, and identifying discrepancy.
WHAT LEVEL MONITORING ENABLES
Delivery when needed rather than on a schedule.
WHY THAT SAVES
Fewer unnecessary trips, and fewer empty tanks.
WHAT MAKES ENVIRONMENTAL DEPLOYMENT DISTINCTIVE
Remote locations No power or connectivity Harsh exposure Sensors in contact with water, which fouls them
WHAT FOULING REQUIRES
Cleaning, or self-cleaning designs, and recalibration.
WHAT TO PLAN
Maintenance intervals based on actual fouling rates.
WHAT TO VALIDATE
Readings against manual measurement, periodically.
WHY
Drift and fouling make readings wrong without any indication.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
Sharing data publicly, where it serves a community purpose.
