Affordable New Water Radar Debuts To Combat Flood Risks


(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As warming temperatures decrease reservoir and river levels, they are leading to heavy rainfall and flooding in other areas. To support water management organizations with reliable real-time data, KISTERS has released the HyQuant L , an affordable water level radar sensor.

Accuracy and precision make the instrument ideal for monitoring flashy water levels in streams, rivers, irrigation, and open stormwater canals. The sensor's frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar achieves a much better signal-to-noise ratio unlike older pulse radar technology.

Interest in radar has grown over time but pricing has slowed adoption of this technology until now. " HyQuant L is part of an effort to help all vulnerable communities monitor risks in real time and support decision-makers," said Matt Ables, CEO at KISTERS North America, "We saw the need for affordable high-performance water radars from our flood control and forecasting partners. Likewise, our reservoir operations and hydropower generation customers can expand their hydromet networks."

Inches thicker than a 4x6 inch picture frame and weighing 2.5 pounds, HyQuant L is intended to be positioned above interference from debris in water. The design keeps hydrologic technicians safe, out of the water, especially with dangerous conditions like fast-moving water. Mounted on a bridge, arms or outriggers, the small sensor is less obvious to would-be vandals.

Key benefits of the
HyQuant L water level radar
:

  • Cost-effective quality data source
    SDI-12 protocol delivers data with ≤2 mm accuracy over the entire measurement range.
  • High dust and water protection
    IP68 rating confirms water resistance to a depth of nearly 5 ft for up to 30 minutes.
  • High energy efficiency
    Sensor's power usage is ideal
    for solar-powered monitoring sites.
  • Adaptable to local settings:
    Easily set up of filters on-site using Wi-Fi and software.

With KISTERS' reputation for providing robust advanced environmental monitoring instruments and software, HyQuant L will help inform organizations accurately and efficiently. For more information on the HyQuant L and its applications, visit .
