RIVERWATCH system


The RIVERWATCH system is an integrated, real-time, monitoring and information system providing forecasting, warning and decision support which can improve the resource/emergency management capabilities of river basin authorities, government agencies, industry and others responsible for water supply, power generation, agriculture, waterway transport, waste disposal, public health and water quality.

Main applications of RIVERWATCH include:

  • Pollution control
  • Flood early warning
  • Irrigation scheduling/operation
  • River navigation
  • Water allocation and drought management
  • Integrated river basin management

RIVERWATCH's modular design allows gradual building of the system with respect to both components and applications. Thus a scaled and progressive investment in RIVERWATCH by the client is possible to meet growing demands and changing circumstances. The major components can be summarised as follows:

  • Data acquisition (meteorological parameters, water quantity and quality in rivers, lakes and ground water)
  • Telemetry (real-time access to data via Phones, GSM and fixed lines, radio, satellite)
  • Central archiving, processing and dissemination of data
  • Numerical models for selected applications

The RIVERWATCH range of products are designed for real time monitoring of rivers, lakes and other freshwater resources. 


The RIVERWATCH monitoring station features state of the art sensors and analysers for real time surveillance of the water quality. This advanced field station is designed for long service intervals and can be standalone units or connected together in a network. More information may be found in the datasheet.

The LAKEWATCH buoy shares many of its features with the SEAWATCH MINI II buoy. The difference is the selection of sensors. The buoy also features an innovative sensor mounting arrangement, making service of the sensors easy without lifting the buoy out of the water. It may also be fitted with a small mast, making meteorological measurements possible. More information may be found in the datasheet.
