Project Experience

River Monitoring for Early Warning Systems

International Collaboration

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.

Thames 21 - Ongoing Partnership

Water Quality

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.

HydroHub Project - IIT Roorkee Collaboration

Hydrological Monitoring

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.
