Continuous Water Level Monitoring for Lakes & Reservoirs


What Is the LakeLevel Sensor?

The LakeLevel Sensor is a fixed installation device designed to measure water levels in lakes and reservoirs with high accuracy and frequency.


It provides continuous data on fluctuations, rises, and drops, allowing lake managers to respond quickly to changing conditions.


What Problem Does It Solve?

Water levels can shift rapidly due to rainfall, drought, inflow changes, or infrastructure issues.

The LakeLevel Sensor enables you to:

  • Track water level fluctuations with precision

  • Detect rapid rises or drops

  • Monitor flood or drought risk

  • Support hydrological research

  • Improve operational decision-making


What Does It Measure?

  • Water level fluctuations (±0.02 ft accuracy)

  • Real-time level changes

  • Environmental factors influencing water levels


Data is transmitted to the Lake Pulse Portal for analysis and alerting.


How It Works

  1. The sensor is mounted on a dock, bridge, or shoreline structure.

  2. It records measurements at high frequency.

  3. Data is transmitted via cellular or Wi-Fi connection.

  4. Results appear in your Lake Portal dashboard.

  5. Alerts can be configured for specific thresholds.


When Should You Use It?

  • When managing water resources

  • When monitoring flood or drought conditions

  • When lake level stability affects recreation or infrastructure

  • When conducting ecological or hydrological research


Summary

The LakeLevel Sensor provides continuous, accurate water level data to support proactive water management and environmental oversight.
