GROUNDWATER LEVEL MONITORING IN FINLAND
An exciting field test with Decentlab's DL-PR26 and DL-PR36 Sensors in Finland!
In the EU-funded DiVes project at the Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius, affiliated with the University of Jyväskylä, the DL-PR26 sensor is undergoing initial testing. It remotely monitors water levels, tank capacities, and more with precision, even at depths of up to ten meters.
In contrast, the DL-PR36 employs RS-485 bus technology and allows for impressive measurement depths of up to 300 meters. The DL-PR36 is currently being tested in a 20-meter deep groundwater level well in Veteli.
Both devices utilize LoRaWAN technology for data transmission, enabling highly energy-efficient data transfer and extending the battery life of groundwater sensors to several years.
The primary goal of the pilot project is to explore the benefits of automated measurement methods compared to manual field measurements. Real-time monitoring of the results is conducted through the project's data platform. The project aims to identify concrete savings and efficiency improvements that water supply companies, for example, can achieve through the implementation of automatic monitoring technologies.
