RIVERWATCH 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
