Real-time flood monitoring
Floods are among the most destructive natural events, posing severe risks to communities, infrastructure, and the environment. A good early flood detection system allows for timely evacuation and action, reducing casualties, property damage, and infrastructural damage. Historical data also helps improve urban planning to prevent future disasters.
Effective flood monitoring is simply critical to safeguarding lives. An advanced, real-time floods warning system ensures you're always a step ahead.
Real-time flood monitoring system
Warning systems for floods generally measure the following parameters: the water level in waterways like streams, the velocity of the water flow in these waterways, and the amount of local rainfall. Traditional methods include manual routine monitoring. These time-consuming, labour-intensive visits by staff are costly. An automated flood detection system on the other hand, provides real-time data collection that significantly reduces operational costs.
A flood monitoring system transforms flood detection into a proactive process, providing highly reliable and actionable real-time sensor data. This real-time warning system for floods enhances your community's preparedness, allowing for timely evacuation and mitigation actions, significantly reducing flood impact.
Reporter: plug & play remote monitoring at your fingertips
Meet Reporter, a powerful sensor device and data logger, specifically designed for your accurate real-time measuring needs, like flood monitoring.
This cloud-connected IoT device functions like a flood warning system. It captures vital data about river and stream conditions, including water level, flow rate, speed, and water temperature. It can also incorporate essential weather parameters like rainfall intensity, wind speed, direction, and humidity.
Reporter was designed to be as user-friendly as possible, to make data accessible to companies of all sizes. Sensors are plug & play connected to the device to make data gathering quick and easy.
Always connected, always informed
Connected via cellular networks (2G/4G), Reporter continuously transmits flood monitoring data to the Crodeon Dashboard, an accessible cloud platform.
The Dashboard allows you to choose your preferred measuring interval (30 seconds to two hours) and set specific alarm thresholds based on your chosen parameters. Whenever your set limits are exceeded, you will receive real-time notifications via smartphone, email, or voice calls from the flood alert system. This proactive approach ensures swift action during potential flood risks.
Reporter's autonomous operation is supported by flexible power options: grid power, solar panel, or battery pack. This ensures continuous operation of the flood warning system, even in remote locations. Low energy consumption and long working life make Reporter the reliable, efficient choice for flood monitoring.
Equipped with a built-in GPS chip, each Reporter's precise location is clearly visible on the Dashboard, enabling quick identification of vulnerable areas.
Seamless data integration
Integration with external predictive flood alert models or software is straightforward using Crodeon's API. Historical data is effortlessly exported in CSV format, supporting detailed analyses and emergency planning for a floods warning system.
Pick the sensors you need
Reporter's versatility allows you to seamlessly integrate up to four different flood alarm sensors simultaneously. This flexibility ensures you can monitor exactly what's needed for a comprehensive warning system for floods.
Choose from a wide variety of sensors or connect your own sensor using our sensor adapter. These sensors give a good idea of the possibilities:
Water level sensors:
- Submersible level sensor
- Radar level sensor
- Radar level transmitter (also measures flow in open channels)
- Ultrasonic distance sensor
