Water pressure, why is it measured?
The pressure created by a liquid as a result of its density and the resulting weight force is called gravity pressure and is essentially dependent on the column of liquid above it.
This gravity pressure, can be an indicator for control and monitoring for various applications in different fields.
LoRaWAN™ - a wireless communication technology
The world of connected devices and IoT (Internet of Things) has revolutionised the way we collect and use data. Sensors with LoRaWAN technology play a crucial role in this development. In this article, we will take a closer look at the benefits and functions of these sensors.
Increased flooding in recent years?
Floods are events in which water rises above normal river banks or riverbeds and floods areas. The frequency of flood events can vary from region to region and is influenced by several factors, including rainfall patterns, geographical conditions, human activities and climate change...
Groundwater Nitrate Monitoring
Drinking water supply in many countries around the world is largely covered by groundwater resources. But groundwater is increasingly polluted with nitrate. One reason is the extensive practice of nitrogen fertilization in agriculture. In addition to mineral fertilizers, substrates such as liquid manure from livestock farms or biogas plants are used for the crops. Left-over nitrogen components, which aren’t degraded by plants at the soil layer usually percolate into groundwater as nitrate. Accordingly, more and more often the maximum permissible threshold of 50 mg/L nitrate concentration for drinking water in the EU is being exceeded.
Automatic Weather Station: the perfect solution for remote monitoring
Monitoring weather and climate conditions is as important as the monitoring of water; it is all closely connected. In a perfect world it would be possible to predict any extreme weather conditions, risks of flooding, high wind conditions and storms. The more reliable historical data is available, the better the predictions will become.
Groundwater
Worldwide there are around 2,5 billion people who are completely depended on groundwater for their basic daily water needs. Taken into account that groundwater provides drinking water for 50 % of the global population and that it is being widely used for irrigation, it is clear that groundwater is of great importance. In industrialized parts of the world, groundwater is being used by industries as cooling water or as process water.
