Fisheries

WATR is the perfect solution for fishery owners and managers, providing real-time monitoring and automated control to protect highly valuable fish stocks. Sudden drops in dissolved oxygen - often caused by heatwaves or overnight stagnation - can devastate fish stocks. Manual checks are too slow, and constant aeration wastes energy. With WATR PRO, you get continuous 24/7 monitoring of dissolved oxygen levels and other key parameters, while WATR SWITCH automates aeration based on live data. Together, they prevent oxygen crashes before they occur, improving fish survival, resource efficiency, and sustainability. WATR helps fisheries stay productive, resilient, and environmentally responsible - protecting your stock and your reputation.

Construction

WATR is essential for the construction industry, helping professionals meet increasing demands for environmental responsibility. With water quality under strict regulation and scrutiny, WATR provides real-time, actionable data through low-intervention, adaptable technology suitable for any site or conditions. Traditional methods - manual sampling, logbooks, outdated sensors, and limited telemetry - are slow, error-prone, and reactive, risking project delays and regulatory breaches. WATR empowers construction teams to monitor water quality continuously, streamline compliance reporting, and take proactive action to prevent environmental harm. By delivering accurate, instant insights, WATR ensures construction projects are efficient, compliant, and environmentally responsible from start to finish.

Section 82

WATR is the ideal partner for utilities, environmental managers, and regulators working under Section 82 of the Environment Act, which sets guidelines to improve rivers and watercourses. Our solar-powered monitoring solutions measure pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, and ammonia, delivering real-time data for compliance, process control, and impact evaluation. With bankside, floating, or pumped sensor systems, WATR provides flexible, low-maintenance monitoring for any environment. These insights enable stakeholders to optimise wastewater treatment, minimise pollution, and safeguard river health. By integrating WATR, utilities and regulators ensure responsible management, uphold Section 82 standards, and promote sustainable, resilient waterways for future generations.

Aquaculture

WATR is essential for aquaculture operations, from hatcheries to open-water farms, where maintaining stable water quality is critical for the health and productivity of aquatic species. Traditional manual sampling and delayed testing are no longer enough - farmers need continuous, real-time insight into oxygen levels, temperature, and other vital parameters to maintain healthy stock and optimise yields. WATR's connected sensor networks give aquaculture operators instant visibility of water conditions across tanks, ponds, and cages, empowering fast, data-driven decisions that safeguard aquatic life and boost performance. By delivering accurate, real-time monitoring with automated control capabilities, WATR helps prevent fish stress, reduces waste, improves growth rates, and minimises mortality - ensuring sustainable, productive aquaculture operations.

Wastewater

There has never been a greater need to monitor the impact of wastewater on the environment and our precious river catchments. As populations grow and urbanisation increases, watercourses face unprecedented pressure from untreated or partially treated wastewater. WATR delivers real-time, live insights into wastewater, storm overflows, and pollution events without heavy infrastructure or manual oversight.

WATR's products and services empower faster, data-driven environmental decisions by providing regulatory-ready data insights, helping utilities, consultancies, and regulators spot issues early and stay fully compliant. Its flexible, sensor-agnostic platform is solar-powered, globally connected via GSM, LoRa, or satellite, offering purchase options (outright, rental, or DaaS) to optimise efficiency, costs, and operational control.

How WATR works

The readings from our monitors are uploaded at regular intervals, and they can be customised to align with your specific needs.

The real-time data is visually presented through a personalised dashboard, enabling you to easily compare parameters and collect information from multiple locations.

To keep you informed about abrupt changes, high or low levels, or irregular data, you can establish predefined alerts. These alerts can also be utilised in conjunction with our Switch device to activate hardware devices and conditioning equipment such as aerators or pumps as needed.
