For sectors such as agriculture, construction, drinking water production, and nature conservation, it is essential to accurately monitor salinization of soil, groundwater, and surface water. Not only is the current degree of salinization important, but so is its relationship to seasonal influences, weather conditions, and water levels.
In addition, insight into the salinization gradient provides valuable information, especially in situations where the soil is disturbed by, for example, construction work.
Large-scale monitoring with smart sensors
The QU-series telemetric water quality sensors enable large-scale measurement of salinization. When combined with the LV-series water level meters, the online portal provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview.
This insight is displayed both spatially on a GIS map and over time via clear graphs of conductivity (salinity) and water level relative to NAP or another reference point.
To better understand the impact of precipitation on groundwater levels and salinity, the TH-series sensors can be used as a supplement. These measure temperature, humidity, and precipitation, ensuring that valuable data is available even during heavy rainfall.
Flexible and Future-Proof Measurement
In addition to conductivity, QU sensors can be expanded to include measurements of pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Both the QU and LV series utilize the energy-efficient LTE-M network and support all Dutch mobile network providers. Thanks to their low energy consumption, the sensors last for years on a single battery. Furthermore, measurement and transmission intervals can be easily configured remotely, ensuring maximum flexibility in use.
