The Loe Bar in Cornwall is a shingle and flint bank that separates the sea from Loe Pool, presenting an unusual set of challenges in both flood risk management and environmental protection. In the following article, Rob Rhyder from NIVUS will explain how a bespoke monitoring solution was developed for the Environment Agency (EA) to meet the specific requirements of this unique location. ...
Flood risk assessments are critical tools used to evaluate the potential risks associated with flooding in a specific area. These assessments are essential for effective flood management, urban planning, and disaster preparedness. Here’s a detailed look at what flood risk assessments entail and why they are ...
Installing flood barriers in your garage is a proactive step to protect your property from water damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process: Eudore Flood Barrier Installation Video Eudore Flood Barrier Installation Manual ...
Effective flood monitoring is essential for environmental agencies to safeguard communities and mitigate risks. Level sensors are a critical component of flood monitoring systems. An environmental agency needed dependable flood sensor technology to handle adverse weather conditions and debris-filled floodwaters. Traditional sensors failed to provide accurate data, leading to challenges with flood ...
It aids in assessing water availability, managing resources, and forecasting floods or droughts. Additionally, monitoring water levels supports environmental observation, navigation safety, and hydrological research, empowering informed decision-making for water management, conservation, and disaster readiness. Water level sensors play a crucial role in safety ...
These stations have become increasingly important in recent years due to the effects of climate change and the need for accurate weather forecasting. This paper explores the significance of weather stations in monitoring and forecasting weather patterns, their importance in various applications, and the progress made in this area. ...

Monitoring environmental conditions: Soil moisture data is valuable for studying climate change, drought patterns, and flood risks. Types of Soil Moisture SensorsVarious types of soil moisture sensors are available, each with its own principles of operation and measurement techniques. ...
These instruments enable the collection of accurate data, which is then analyzed to make reliable forecasts. In this article, we will explore some of the key weather instruments that are essential for accurate weather forecasting. ...
Flood Defense Group is proud to announce that we have won a two-year contract as the primary supplier of temporary flood barriers to the US government through the US Army Corps of Engineers National Flood Fight Material Center (NFFMC). When overwhelming flood threats occur that are beyond the capabilities of state and municipal authorities, the US federal government steps in to ...
It is also estimated that the number of people at risk of flooding will increase to 1.6 million in 2050, compared to 1.2 million today. ...

Amongst political unrest, COVID-19, and the continued threat of climate change, 2023 is shaping up to be yet another unprecedented year. As we look to the horizon, one thing is guaranteed, there will be no shortage of challenges to overcome in the environmental monitoring industry. To gain better insight into the evolving landscape, we combined global data and market research to synthesize ...
Project Description Northumbrian Water provides water and sewerage services to 2.7 million people in the North East of England with 27,000 km of sewers and cleared 9500 blockages in 2019. StormHarvester and Northumbrian Water have worked together since early 2018 to analyse pumping chambers in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in Northern England. This discrete network was chosen due to the location of ...
A new pilot project investigating how the in-home and environmental risk and impact of sewer flooding could be reduced through the use of alarm technology has now been successfully completed, in partnership between Yorkshire Water and tech company Technolog. The pilot itself was carried out in Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Doncaster, with the project winning the Institute of Water North Region ...
Farmers may use satellite data to detect soil and crop conditions and features, monitor growth, and analyze soil and irrigation requirements. Weather Forecasting Flooding, droughts, heavy rains, and other severe weather occurrences substantially influence crops and cattle. ...
A recent study of credit risk linked to climate change points to the need for creative water management strategies, starting now Moody’s-affiliated publisher Four Twenty Seven recently raised several red flags about credit risk and global climate change in a report titled, “Measuring What Matters: A New Approach to Assessing Sovereign Climate Risk.” It predicts that by 2040, ...
Water is a huge problem for owners of commercial properties. Unpredictable weather events such as hurricanes and major downpours take water from the air and deposit it on the ground, and of course that water will find its way into ponds, lakes, rivers and streams. If those bodies cannot cope with the volume of water, then that water will end up where people do not need it to be. If you are the ...
In recent years the United States has been hit by an increasing number of extreme weather events. There is no doubt that global warming is a genuine aspect of the world’s climate, whether you believe it is man-made or not. Annual global temperatures have been on the rise since the 1880s, resulting in weather patterns that are becoming harder to predict. Flooding is one aspect of extreme ...
The SATGN is maintained and operated by the National Oceanography Centre, which is the UK centre of excellence for sea level monitoring, coastal flood forecasting and the analysis of sea levels. It is the focus for marine water level research in the UK and for the provision of advice for policymakers, planners and coastal engineers. ...
