Monitoring for floods requires monitoring of water level, current, and precipitation to record and trigger an alert based on these parameters. The YSI family of companies manufacture and can help in choosing the right sensor all of the way down to installing and maintaining the systems. The technology implemented in the Flood Alert Kits has been used by all major US government monitoring agencies including the USGS and US Army Corp of Engineers, except has been preconfigured and packaged will all the programming and mounting accessories to get the system installed and transmitting.

In stormwater monitoring rainfall, flow, and turbidity are often critical indicators to impaired stream and river networks.  The sudden influx of swiftly moving water during these events can sweep contaminants into freshwater sources and overwhelm the storage capacity of streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Plumes of high turbidity often accompany dredging work and can damage fragile ecosystems. A variety of in-situ monitoring solutions help project managers evaluate turbidity and other critical levels with minimal impact to an operation’s workflow.

Regulatory agencies need a wealth of data to ensure that a project or program stays within its defined impact parameters.  Custom, integrated data systems can provide the exact data exactly where agencies need it.  Landfill and Dredging are example of common compliance applications which YSI provides solutions.

Whether monitoring turbidity levels throughout a construction project, water depth in a drinking water reservoir or lake monitoring platform, or blue-green algae levels to protect systems from Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), automated monitoring systems help capture critical data as parameters reach pre-defined thresholds.

Wind speed, rainfall amounts, humidity, and barometric pressure all play important roles in aquatic ecosystems. Robust, custom stations help ensure accurate and dependable data.

Monitoring flow in open channels requires quality rating curves or securely mounted velocity meters.  We can help be providing mounting structures or field work to secure the sensors in the channel.

Real-time data delivered through cellular and satellite modems helps reduce trips into the field, conserving resources and lowering the total cost of monitoring.  Email alerts and data website portals deliver information to parties who can act immediately.  YSI Systems and Services has installed and commissioned real time monitoring networks globally and understands the challenges of system design and integration.

Sampling, monitoring, and logging data in surface water applications, ranging from ponds to streams and rivers to wetlands and estuaries.
