Flood Detection Solutions

Always a Step Ahead of Water Problems

Monitor water levels in wells, reservoirs, and flood-prone areas. Get real-time alerts and prevent water-related disasters before they happen.

Flood Detection & Water Monitoring

Where it’s deployed

Smart Water Level Monitoring

Traditional water monitoring requires manual checks at inconvenient times. IoT-based sensors change that. Get continuous data on water levels from wells, reservoirs, and flood zones. Identify problems early. Protect against outages and flooding. Access data from anywhere, anytime.

Well Water Monitoring

Well Water Monitoring

Track Groundwater Levels

Monitor well water levels and pump performance. Know when water is available. Prevent pump dry runs and equipment damage.

How it works

From a sensor in the field to the screen your operations team uses.

One accountable team for the sensors, the LoRaWAN network and the software — integrated with the systems you already run.

  1. Sensors in the field

    01 · Sense

    Sensors in the field

    Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors on rivers, buildings, tanks and streets — chosen for each reading.

  2. LoRaWAN and cellular

    02 · Connect

    LoRaWAN and cellular

    LoRaWAN gateways for battery sensors and wide sites, IoT SIMs for devices that move or send more data — chosen per device.

  3. EdgeKinect Core

    03 · Process

    EdgeKinect Core

    Runs on the site gateway: every reading decoded, normalized and routed to the systems that need it.

  4. Your dashboards & systems

    04 · Act

    Your dashboards & systems

    Dashboards, rules and alerts in EdgeKinect Vision — our cloud or self-hosted — and the same data in SCADA, historians or the cloud.

The challenge

What makes water hard to watch.

  1. 01

    How do I monitor water levels continuously?

    Submersible sensors measure water levels by calculating pressure exerted by liquid above. Data transmits wirelessly via LoRaWAN to cloud dashboards accessible from anywhere.

  2. 02

    Can sensors work in remote locations?

    Yes. LoRaWAN reaches remote sites that cellular often can't. Battery-powered with years-long life. No wired infrastructure needed.

  3. 03

    How do I get flood warnings in time?

    Set threshold alerts for any water level. When levels exceed limits, receive instant notifications via SMS, email, or app. React before flooding occurs.

  4. 04

    What about harsh environments?

    Sensors are IP66-IP68 rated. Designed for submersion in ground, surface, waste, and sea water. Built for the toughest conditions.

  5. 05

    How accurate are the measurements?

    Pressure-based sensors provide precise readings. Choose from 3M, 5M, or 10M measurement ranges based on your needs. Specific gravity calculations ensure accuracy.

  6. 06

    Is installation difficult?

    No. NFC configuration makes setup simple. Power on with phone or computer. Start reading data on cloud dashboards within minutes.

The outcome

What changes once it’s running.

  1. 01

    Low Cost & Low Power

    Battery-powered sensors last for years. High IP rating enclosure reduces maintenance. Better economics with less human effort.

  2. 02

    Easy Installation

    NFC configuration for quick setup. Works in harsh environments where wired tech cannot reach.

  3. 03

    Real-Time Alerts

    Automated notifications for critical water level changes. Enable proactive flood prevention.

  4. 04

    Remote Monitoring

    Access water level data from anywhere through cloud platforms and mobile apps. No site visits needed for routine checks.

  5. 05

    Custom Measurement Ranges

    Choose from 3M, 5M, or 10M sensor ranges. Match your specific application requirements.

FAQ

Questions about flood detection & water monitoring, answered.

What buyers ask us most about sensors, coverage and integration.

Ultrasonic sensors above rivers, culverts and drains measure the water level on a schedule and report faster as levels rise. When a threshold is crossed, the people on call get an SMS, email or phone alert, and the data is kept for reporting.
