Monitoring & Early Warning

Hydro-met Monitoring Stations

Designing, installing and maintaining comprehensive hydro-meteorological monitoring networks- automatic weather stations, rainfall gauges, water level recorders, discharge stations and snow observation generating the continuous real-time data streams that power flood forecasting, drought monitoring and climate research across mountain and river basin environments.

Water level monitoring stations

Installing radar level sensor, pressure sensors and ultrasonic water level monitoring stations at river and lake sites for providing continuous, telemetry-transmitted stage data for flood warning, discharge calculation and reservoir operation in gauged and ungauged catchments.

Hydrological stationReal-time stageFlood alert

Discharge monitoring stations

Establishing continuous discharge monitoring stations using velocity-area, Radar level and velocity sensors— operating automated index velocity sensors and maintaining calibration through periodic discharge measurement to generate reliable continuous flow records for water resource management.
