River Behaviour.

To understand nature in completeness is a dream! However, observations and monitoring will provide indications of what to expect. Currently our sister company Storm Geomatics is studying the relationship between the river channel and floodplain using a number of live sensors, strategically placed and amazingly all hooked up to the Internet of Things (IoT). One of of the sensors is a weather station that displays results at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds! This is an ongoing research project to develop a River Digital Twin® that records river conditions and weather, and will use machine learning to provide detailed river behaviours to help inform flood reduction and nature regeneration projects in the future, not only for Halford Flood Meadow, but all over the UK.
