WATR: Next Generation Section 82 and Catchment Monitoring

Autumn and winter bring heavier rainfall, increased runoff, and more frequent storm events, placing catchments and sewer systems under pressure. Runoff from fields and urban areas carries sediment, nutrients, and pollutants into waterways, while combined sewer overflows release excess wastewater, impacting water quality. Real-time catchment monitoring is essential, and WATR is built for this challenge.

The sensor-agnostic platform captures all key parameters, from pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen to nutrients and other water quality indicators. Deployments include floating in-flow systems, bankside installations, or pumped kiosks, providing flexible coverage across the catchment. Some larger installations may require civil works, but WATR always offers adaptable options to meet operational needs.

WATR supports clients every step of the way, from site surveys and planning to installation, calibration, and training, ensuring smooth implementation and confidence in operations.

The WATR data platform delivers real-time alerts and notifications, while dashboards enable historical and comparative analysis. API integration allows connection to AI systems for predictive analytics, transforming continuous monitoring into actionable insights.

With Section 82 compliance requirements under the UK Environment Act 2021, WATR enables water companies to capture rapid changes during rainfall-driven runoff and storm overflows, providing full catchment coverage and supporting regulatory obligations.

By combining flexible deployment, sensor versatility, robust communications, expert support, and advanced analytics, WATR turns unpredictable conditions into reliable, actionable intelligence, helping water companies and environmental agencies protect water quality, reduce risk, and act proactively, precisely when it matters most.
