Remote flood water level & flow monitoring with web-enabled data loggers

The HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Data Logging Station and HOBO RX2100-WL MicroRX Water Level Monitoring Station (pictured above) enable instant access to site-specific flood water data anywhere, anytime via the Internet. Both  are highly cost-effective hydrological telemetry systems and can easily be moved from one site to another, as needs change. 

Flexible support for a wide range of sensors

The RX3000 and RX2100-WL are compatible with the full range of HOBO Plug-and-Play Smart Sensors, plus many third-party sensors, using analogue connections (Contact us for advice and compatibility).

Researchers from Lancaster University are tackling one of the most pressing problems to face water science in a generation

After the devastation of the 2007 floods, the UK Government's "Pitt review" triggered initiatives designed to introduce “green”, or natural, flood mitigation (NFM) measures upstream of the affected communities, rather than relying solely on downstream engineering solutions.

A team of Lancaster University scientists led by Dr Nick Chappell of the Lancaster Environment Centre is leading one of three major NERC-funded projects to quantify the likely magnitude of nature-based flood mitigation effects across large catchments (Q-NFM), by undertaking large scale computer modelling, supported by fieldwork and stakeholder engagement.

The team are investigating natural flood mitigation measures across several thousands of square kilometres in Cumbria, much of which suffered devastating flooding during Storm Desmond in December
