In Deep Water
(Keynetix Ltd & Grant Instruments Ltd, UK)

The Deep Water project was set up to trial the new features on monitoringpoint.com that allow users of Grant Instruments data loggers to automatically upload their data and to show how the flexibility of monitoringpoint.com allows it to work outside of the mainstream geotechnical industry.

The project's objective is the continuous, unmanned and reliable monitoring and dissemination of river level, river temperature, rainfall, air pressure, air temperature and humidity. The installation of equipment and upload procedures took just three hours in February 2007 and it has been recording and uploading data every day ever since.

Although the project started off as a simple river and environmental monitoring station, the system has caught a brilliant insight into Britain's devastating floods in July 2007. The whole system continued to work fully automated while the river rose over 2 metres in less than 12 hours following 80mm of rainfall in 18 hours. To see all the historical readings or latest data being recorded, simply register and select project Deep Water.
