Early flood warning systems provide crucial data to alert local emergency authorities, public works departments, and the public of heavy rain and potential flood events to protect lives and infrastructure.
OTT HydroMet precipitation, water level, and flow sensors, paired with reliable data loggers and telemetry technology, are able to collect and transmit near real-time data to determine rain intensity, level, or flow during flood events, to know if a critical threshold has been exceeded.
Learn about the critical role of data during flood events through this informative and data-packed infographic.
