IoT solution
Water level monitoring

Much of the damage caused by natural disasters, especially floods, is due to the lack of timely warnings and adequate preparations. In many cases, such damage can be avoided or minimised if responsible agencies can respond in a timely and effective manner through flood protection systems. In this context, IoT sensors for measuring water levels are becoming increasingly important, as they can help reduce the risk of flood damage and thus save considerable costs and protect people. 

Distance sensors in practical application

IoT sensors are self-sufficient and small, depending on the model, they are in stable outdoor housings that can withstand strong environmental influences for years. Sensors with the IoT technology LoRaWAN transmit over long distances and have a very long battery life. This makes them ideal for use in water level monitoring. For example, as part of a Smart Village project, municipalities can easily keep an eye on their local water bodies themselves and make the data available to the population. When water levels rise, alarms can be triggered automatically and you can react in time.

Further applications for distance sensors

Sensors for measuring the water level are often used on bodies of water such as rivers. But can sensors that are also known as distance sensors also be used elsewhere? Can the long battery life, easy mounting, stable housing and long range also be useful in other situations?

Products for use for water level monitoring

Would you like advice on the subject of water level monitoring?

IoT sensors, especially those with LoRaWAN technology, are a promising tool for water level monitoring. By detecting rising water levels in good time, they help to reduce the risk of flood damage and thus increase the safety of people, animals and infrastructures. We would be happy to advise you on the implementation.
