Multiparameter Water Quality
Sonde on Telemetry

RS Hydro have recently won two separate contracts to supply and install multiparameter water quality sondes in remote locations in Wales. Two further multiparameter sondes are being supplied as stand-alone platforms.

The clients are using the multiparameter sonde along with thea solar powered telemetry system with plug and play sensors including turbidity, level, temperature, conductivity and pH/ORP. One of the clients is using the sonde to provide an early warning alarm to inform the client if any of their remedial works on a dam face are having an influence on the water quality of the compensation flow from the reservoir. The other client is using 4 sondes to measure water quality in a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) over a period of two years.

Both clients are using RS Hydro's FlowView platform to provide all the data on a daily basis. Should any of the alarm thresholds be exceeded, text (SMS) messages will be sent direct to the client. It is possible to view a demo of the multiparameter sonde on our local river. Before you think there are errors in the conductivity readings, they are correct! The Salwarpe River is partly fed by Droitwich Spa's naturally occurring brine baths, hence at low flows, conductivity rises dramatically.
