Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water engaged the Hydro International consulting team to implement and manage a Hydro-Logic® Smart Monitoring system to track reservoir levels and river flows across Wales.

Situation

As a UK water company, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water has to balance current and future water supply and demand while adhering to environmental compliance regulations established by the UK Environment Agency.

Problem

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water identified a need to monitor its network, but realised that design, implementation and ongoing operation of such a large integrated network— with a range of remote sites—was complex, and required specialist expertise.

Solution

They approached the Hydro International consulting team, who used more than 100 Hydro-Logic® Flexi Loggers to develop a comprehensive Smart Monitoring system.

Outcome

The system provides information on compensation flows and river flow as well as reservoir and borehole levels, enabling Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water to conduct both effective operational management and forward-looking water resource planning and asset management.
