Groundwater Project: Addressing Mining Pollution Across the United Kingdom

Challenge:

The Coal Authority was in need of evaluating the effectiveness of mine treatment schemes to deliver strong economic and environmental benefits to solve water pollution from abandoned coal mines.

Solution:

A monitoring system based on OTT ecoLog 500 level loggers to measure groundwater depth and temperature. Data transmitted via cellular or radio transmission to an FTTP server in the cloud.

Benefits:

OTT HydroMet’s telemetry options help reduce staff involvement and consolidate costs. Now, staff occasionally check equipment for maintenance purposes but can overall leave sites running unattended.
