Measurement of heavy rainfall

After a dry winter, Switzerland is now experiencing a wet spring. Just a few days ago, our partner and customer inNET Monitoring AG received eight flood warnings within a short span of time through their floodALERT system in central Switzerland. Actually, it rained heavily in some places. The peak value for a 10-minute interval was recorded at 13.5 mm. While it may not be an absolute record, it is indeed a considerable amount of water falling from the sky.

inNET offers automatic real-time water level and rainfall measurements with floodALERT. The measurements are stored and visualized in real-time and are continuously and automatically monitored. floodALERT serves as both an early warning system for impending floods and for online monitoring of flow rates, water levels, and remaining water in the context of energy generation, as well as low water levels during heatwaves or for construction site monitoring.
