Monitoring Salinization

Continuous insight into salinization with high-quality water data

Salinization has a major impact on agriculture, nature, drinking water extraction, and construction projects. 

Using Munisense smart sensors and the INSIGHTNOW™ platform, you can continuously monitor conductivity, water levels, and precipitation. This allows you to detect changes early and make informed decisions based on high-quality water data.

✔️ INSIGHTNOW™ water platform

Why monitor salinization

Due to drought, climate change, and increasing pressure on our water system, salinization is on the rise in more and more locations. Especially in coastal areas, polders, and areas where groundwater is extracted, changes in salinity can have major consequences for agriculture, nature, and water management.

Continuous monitoring provides insight into where, when, and to what extent salinization occurs. This enables timely action and allows the effectiveness of measures to be objectively assessed.

The Challenges of Salinization

Salinization does not occur overnight. It is a process in which various factors influence one another. A single measurement rarely tells the whole story.

By continuously combining multiple parameters, a comprehensive picture of the progression of salinization emerges.

The following parameters, among others, play an important role in this:

  • Conductivity (EC)
  • Water level
  • Precipitation
  • Temperature
  • Time series
  • Location data

It is precisely this combination that makes it possible to identify trends, detect risks early, and make better-informed decisions.

Smart Salinization Monitoring

Munisense offers a complete solution for monitoring salinization. Smart telemetric sensors automatically collect monitoring data, which is available in real time through the INSIGHTNOW™ platform.

Depending on the application, we combine different sensors. By combining data from multiple sensors, we create a comprehensive picture of both the causes and the progression of salinization.

QU Series, for continuous measurements of:

  • Conductivity (EC)
  • Water quality
  • Temperature

LV Series for measurements of:

  • Water level
  • Absolute pressure
  • Temperature

TH Series for continuous measurement of:

  • Precipitation
  • Temperature
  • Relative humidity

Combining this data provides a comprehensive picture of the relationship between water levels, precipitation, and salinization.

High-quality water data comes from combining the right measurements, not from more measurements.

INSIGHTNOW™: all water data in one place

INSIGHTNOW™ is at the heart of our water monitoring solutions. Automatic validation, powerful analytics, and clear dashboards ensure that you have access not only to monitoring data, but to reliable information you can use to make informed decisions.

Whether you work with telemetric sensors, logger data, or manual measurements, all data is brought together in one central platform. This ensures you always have access to up-to-date, high-quality water data for monitoring, analysis, reporting, and management.

With INSIGHTNOW™, you’ll have access to, among other things:

  • Real-time dashboards
  • GIS maps

Frequently Asked Questions

Salinity is typically measured based on the electrical conductivity (EC) of the water. The higher the conductivity, the higher the concentration of dissolved salts.

Salinization develops gradually and is influenced by factors such as precipitation, drought, and changes in the water system. Continuous measurements provide insight into trends and make it possible to take timely action.

To get a complete picture, conductivity, water level, temperature, and precipitation are analyzed together. This provides insight into both the cause and the progression of salinization.

Our solutions are used in agriculture, nature conservation, drinking water extraction, construction and infrastructure projects, as well as by municipalities, provinces, water districts, and engineering firms. Continuous monitoring provides objective insight into the progression of salinization and the effects of mitigation measures.

Conductivity (EC) is a measure of the amount of dissolved salts in water and is used as an indicator of salinization. Continuous measurement of EC provides insight into changes in the salinity of groundwater and surface water.

Salinization is influenced by various factors, such as water level, precipitation, and temperature. Combining this data with conductivity measurements provides a much more complete picture of the cause, development, and impact of salinization.
