TOP 2 Water level monitor
What is a water level sensor? A water level sensor is a device for measuring too high or too low a liquid level in a fixed vessel. According to the method of measuring liquid level, it can be divided into contact type and non-contact type. The input type water level transmitter is a contact measurement that converts the level height into an electrical signal output. It is a widely used water ...

Why Is Water Level Monitoring Important?
Monitoring water levels can have numerous environmental benefits and is a popular measurement for a number of different industries and organisations. Below we will discuss some of the common applications water level monitoring devices, as well as some of the valuable insights that recording this can reveal. Remote water level monitoring Whereas water level monitoring used to be done by ...

Sewer System Water Level Monitoring
Monitoring the water level in a sewer system is crucial for efficiently managing urban water infrastructure. Real-time data is used for early warning to detect flooding and leaks. Collected data is also analyzed to provide insights on performance and enable opportunities for optimization, improving efficiency and planning future upgrades/maintenance needs. ABM's non-contact ultrasonic and radar ...

The Importance of Dynamic Density Compensation in Water Level Monitoring
OBTAINING SUPERIOR WATER LEVEL ACCURACY IN COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS In-Situ Inc. water level instruments measure the sum of all pressures (atmospheric and hydrostatic) exerted on a pressure transducer and use that data to calculate water levels. Water density contributes to the total hydrostatic pressure. Saltwater has a higher specific gravity than fresh water. A standard column of saltwater exerts ...

Tackling rainwater shortages during dry seasons using a socio-technical operational strategy
The management of water resources during the dry season is a major challenge associated with rainwater harvesting (RWH) technology, but is necessary given the human suffering that follows from resulting conditions of water scarcity. In this study, the parameters for dry season assessment are defined in terms of ‘no water days’ (NWD) and rainwater usage ratio. A simple socio-technical ...

Water Level Monitoring Using a Druck Depth/Level Sensor
In this Tech Article from CAS DataLoggers and dataTaker, we describe the process of connecting the Druck PTX 1830 depth/level sensor to a dataTaker DT8x series data logger. These two components can function as a water level monitoring logger and record depth measurements. The Druck sensor outputs a 4-20mA signal and can be powered by the dataTaker’s switchable 12V regulated voltage output. ...

Case Study: Remote River Water Level Monitoring
ABM’s Advanced Level Sensors and Remote Support Solve Multiple Reflection Challenges Background An environmental company required a level sensor to remotely monitor and control water levels in a river for a flood monitoring application. For this project, ABM's remote non-contact ultrasonic level sensor was selected as the ideal solution. The low-power sensor can operate for several years ...

Remote location requires minimum concept - Case study
A leading power supply provider in Austria took on the project of monitoring water levels at a power plant in Montenegro, in two remote locations where no infrastructure is available for installation. On top of that, site visits could only occur every two months, so a device with remote data transmission capabilities was key. Because of these factors, the customer needed an easy solution for ...

Staff Gages Overview
Stevens’ environmentally rugged staff gages provide a quick and easy visual indicator of water level and flow. Every water level monitoring station should include a staff gage from which the height of the water may be visually and easily compared to any data logger’s reported measurement. Enamelled iron gages are preferred over other type gages (such as painted gages) since ...

Groundwater-recharge estimation using a surface electrical resistivity method in the Himalayan foothill region, India
A new method for the estimation of groundwater recharge is presented using a surface resistivity method and isotope technique. A linear relationship was obtained between the resistivity of the unsaturated top layer and the recharge estimated using a tritium tagging technique for the piedmont zone in the Himalayan foothill region, India. The relation can be used for the estimation of recharge ...

Wesleyan University Students Research Aquifer Recharge with Water Level Monitoring
Overview Wesleyan hydrology students used the Level TROLL 700 to monitor groundwater levels and perform slug tests to understand how climate change may impact aquifer recharge in the northeastern U.S. Challenge Students wanted to explore how climate change might impact groundwater levels in the Northeast, where precipitation is becoming less frequent but more intense. Increased rainfall ...

CASE STUDIES Rapid Deployment of Hydrological Monitoring Station - Case study
Following a 3.2 magnitude earthquake on September 7th, the water level of the karst river Vrljika started dropping very quickly. This rare phenomenon has last occurred in 2004, and, before that, in 1942. Low water levels of Vrljika can be dangerous for several endemic fish species; and the whole Imotski region gets its water supply from Vrljika. Less than 24 hours after the event, Geolux ...

RTU based basin, canal and river level monitoring system - Case Study
Key Requirements: All installations require timely notification of rapidly changing conditions while minimising the cost of communications. Instead of the continual polling that is characteristic of SCADA systems, TBox devices use push technology to communicate only when necessary. Push technology best utilises inexpensive public networks and allows remote sites to operate on the least expensive ...

River level monitoring lowers bridge scour risk
Engineers at Transport Scotland have investigated the potential for water level monitoring systems to help mitigate risks where transport infrastructure interacts with moving water. The trial was conducted at a bridge over Vales Burn near Hawick in Scotland, and the monitoring equipment was provided by OTT HydroMet. Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather ...

Preventing rain water flooding case study
SmartScan 50 helps preventing rain water flooding by providing an efficient level measurement solution in a pop. 1M city. The municipality has been struggling for years with heavy flooding of rain water during winter time that damaged large parts of the city and caused distress to its residents. As a result, a long drainage pipe was laid between the city's shore and the flooded parts. This huge ...

Flood water protection in the city of Buenos Aires - Case study
The Arroyo Mendrano is the second largest channeled stream of water running through Buenos Aires. In case of heavy rainfalls it overflows its banks and causes considerable material damage. When the retention basin which had been especially built to collect large quantities of water during strong precipitation events also overflowed, the government decided to have an alarm-system installed to ...
