Our consultancy services combine cutting-edge open-source sensor technology with decades of combined experience in hydrology, water quality monitoring, and environmental assessment. We help organizations, research institutions, and communities design and implement cost-effective monitoring systems without compromising scientific rigor.
Strategic placement and configuration of sensor networks to maximize data value. We conduct site assessments, optimize sampling strategies, and design networks that balance coverage with budget constraints.
Hands-on support for sensor deployment, from site preparation to commissioning. We handle the technical complexities so you can focus on your research or management objectives.
Transform raw sensor data into actionable insights. Our team provides statistical analysis, hydrological modeling, and custom visualizations tailored to your decision-making needs.
Empower your team with the skills to operate, maintain, and maximize the value of environmental monitoring systems. We offer workshops ranging from sensor basics to advanced data science.
Need something beyond our standard sensors? We design and prototype custom monitoring solutions for unique environmental challenges, always maintaining open-source principles.
Comprehensive project oversight from concept to completion. We coordinate stakeholders, manage budgets, and ensure projects meet technical requirements and deadlines.
Real-time river stage monitoring, rainfall-runoff modeling, and flood early warning systems for urban and rural catchments.
Soil moisture networks, irrigation optimization, and water use efficiency studies for sustainable agriculture.
River, lake, and reservoir water quality assessment, pollution source tracking, and ecosystem health monitoring.
Long-term monitoring to support adaptation planning, vulnerability assessment, and resilience building.
Water level dynamics, hydroperiod analysis, and restoration monitoring for wetland ecosystems.
Stormwater monitoring, green infrastructure performance, and combined sewer overflow tracking.
Practical Action, in collaboration with Imperial College London, has been working in Nepal, Peru and Bolivia to test light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors. These sensors enable improved river level monitoring, which then helps riverine communities to take action to protect lives, assets, and livelihoods. Our team has provided technical expertise and sensor development for this international project, demonstrating the robustness and reliability of our systems in challenging mountainous environments.
Over the past 10 years, Riverlabs has provided numerous level and water quality sensors to Thames 21 for a variety of river monitoring systems across the Thames catchment. This long-standing partnership demonstrates our commitment to reliable, maintainable equipment and ongoing support. Our sensors have been instrumental in Thames 21's citizen science initiatives and pollution monitoring programmes, providing real-time data for community engagement and environmental protection efforts.
The HydroHub project showcases our collaborative work with IIT Roorkee and international partners to deploy advanced hydrological monitoring systems. This project demonstrates our capability to work at scale with institutional partners and adapt our technology to diverse environmental conditions. The systems deployed have provided critical data for water resource management and flood forecasting in data-scarce regions.
