Flood Risk
and River Monitoring
Track water levels and changing conditions across catchments to support forecasting, early warnings and incident response.
Effective hydrology monitoring underpins flood risk management, asset protection and regulatory compliance across river, coastal and water infrastructure. Skyview provides accurate, real-time monitoring of water levels and hydrological conditions to support river authorities, the Environment Agency, water and wastewater operators, and organisations responsible for critical infrastructure.
Our solutions are deployed across rivers, reservoirs, shoreline and radar-based coastal monitoring, as well as bridges, dams, docks and drainage assets where dependable data is essential for safe operation and long-term resilience.

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.
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.

Rugged, weather-resistant hydrology sensors designed for long-term deployment in exposed environments.
Measure water behaviour where risk exists, including rivers, culverts, drainage networks and outfalls.
Use dependable hydrology data to anticipate rising levels and support flood preparedness decisions.
Capture auditable hydrology data to support regulatory reporting and environmental compliance.
Each monitoring solution is configured around your river network and operational priorities.
Integrate hydrology data into cloud platforms, SCADA systems or existing telemetry networks.
Monitor flow trends and water movement across catchments to understand changing conditions.
Provide teams with clear, real-time visibility of water levels for rapid response.
Systems engineered for dependable performance with options for calibration and servicing.
Support dams, bridges, shoreline assets and water networks across complex sites.
Access experienced engineers who support your hydrology system throughout its lifecycle.
Skyview precipitation monitoring supports organisations where rainfall and flooding present critical operational risks. These real projects show how accurate rain data underpins safe, compliant decision-making in demanding environments.
Networked rain gauges and weather stations provide localised precipitation data that supports flood forecasting, risk assessment and timely protective action across vulnerable catchments.

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