Hydrology Monitoring Where Water Risk Matters Most

Commercial environments often face operational challenges linked to rainfall, including surface water hazards, drainage performance, equipment protection and visitor safety. Understanding real-time precipitation levels is essential for managing risk with clarity and confidence.

Skyview’s systems provide precise, dependable rainfall measurements that help your team make informed decisions, reduce operational risk and maintain compliance with internal and regulatory standards.

Our commercial precipitation monitoring systems use high-quality, calibrated sensors engineered for long-term use, with each solution built around your site requirements. Clear data access, whether through on-site indicators, cloud platforms or integrated controls, gives your teams the real-time insight needed for safe operations, maintenance planning and resource management.

Every system is designed for long-term reliability and supported through routine calibration, servicing and technical assistance. Installations are configured to match your operational processes, helping you maintain dependable environmental oversight throughout the system’s lifecycle.

What Your Hydrology Monitoring System Delivers

Many organisations responsible for water and infrastructure assets operate without consistent, site-specific hydrology insight. Limited visibility around water levels and flow behaviour can reduce confidence when managing flood risk, asset protection and operational safety.

Hydrology Monitoring FAQs

Answers to common questions about commercial hydrology monitoring for rivers, flood risk and critical water infrastructure.

How does a hydrology monitoring system work?

A hydrology monitoring system measures parameters such as river level, water level, flow, rainfall and related environmental conditions using precision sensors installed at critical locations. Data is collected in real time and transmitted to on site displays, control systems or secure cloud platforms where teams can monitor conditions, set alarms and review historical trends. This information supports flood risk management, infrastructure protection and operational decision making.

Which organisations benefit most from hydrology monitoring?

Hydrology monitoring is essential for organisations responsible for managing water, flood risk and infrastructure safety. This includes river authorities, the Environment Agency, water and wastewater operators, local authorities, ports and harbour operators, and owners of assets such as dams, bridges and flood defences. Any site where changing water levels or flow present operational or safety risks can benefit from accurate, continuous hydrology data.

Can hydrology data integrate with our SCADA or control systems?

Yes. Skyview hydrology monitoring systems are designed to integrate with existing SCADA, PLC and control platforms commonly used by water authorities and infrastructure operators. Sensors and data loggers support industry standard outputs including 0 or 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 V, pulse outputs and digital protocols such as Modbus RTU, SDI 12 and RS 485 ASCII.

We configure each system so water level, flow and status data are presented in the format your control system requires. This allows hydrology insight to be used directly within alarms, dashboards, automation logic and reporting workflows.

Where required, we also offer cloud based monitoring with dashboards, alerts and data export via Skylink-Pro.

What does installation and commissioning involve?

Installation typically begins with a site assessment to identify suitable sensor locations based on river geometry, structures and access constraints. Equipment is then installed, powered and connected to communications systems. Our engineers configure and test the system to confirm accurate readings and reliable data transmission before commissioning and handover.

How is maintenance and calibration managed?

To ensure reliable long term performance, hydrology sensors require periodic inspection, cleaning and calibration. Skyview offers structured maintenance agreements that include routine servicing, calibration checks and technical support to help organisations maintain data quality and meet operational and regulatory requirements.

How do we obtain pricing for a hydrology monitoring solution?

Hydrology monitoring requirements vary depending on site conditions, asset type, communication needs and how the data will be used. For this reason, pricing is tailored to each project.
