Next Generation Wastewater Monitoring
- Regulatory Assurance
- Real-Time Data
- Environmental Stewardship
- Smarter Wastewater Management
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. Organisations are now under greater scrutiny and are required to take responsibility for their environmental impact, ensuring the protection of these vital ecosystems.
In England alone, 450,398 monitored spill events from storm overflows occurred in 2024, releasing untreated sewage directly into rivers, streams, and coastal waters. (Rivers Trust)
These events accounted for approximately 3.6 million hours of untreated sewage being discharged into the environment over the course of the year. (GOV.UK)
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.
Trusted by the water industry for environmental monitoring
"The value of this data cannot be overstated. Being able to detect shifts in near-real time gives us early warnings of increased catchment connectivity and potential risks to raw water quality."
Importance of Monitoring
Wastewater monitoring is conducted at various stages, from the influent entering the treatment plant to the final effluent discharge point in the receiving environment, to evaluate treatment effectiveness and the overall environmental impact.
Environmental Protection
Prevents the discharge of harmful pollutants into natural water bodies like rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensures adherence to national and local environmental standards and avoids legal penalties and fines.
Process Optimisation
Real-time monitoring provides data to adjust treatment processes (e.g., aeration, chemical dosing) to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Public Health
Minimises the risk of waterborne diseases by ensuring the effective removal of pathogens and toxic substances.
