Introduction

Reservoirs are manmade water storage facilities for water conservation. The measurement of water level in a reservoir must be continuously monitored to regulate flow through canals for hydropower generation, irrigation and water supply to households and industries.

All the dams need to monitor their water levels continuously to ensure safe levels of water storage for its conservation. They rely on Level Measurement Systems to ensure the real-time checking of water levels.        

Pune Techtrol is a leading provider of level measurement instruments and process automation solutions in India since 1984 and is the solution partner of the most Indian dams.

The Problem

Water level measurement and recording was done manually. Its monitoring becomes very critical during monsoon. As the further decisions are based on the level measurement, remote monitoring of level was required .

The Solution

Pune Techtrol a leading level transmitter manufacturer, has devised a Techtrol Wireless Remote Monitoring System. The system comprises a ‘Radar Level Transmitter’, ‘Ultrasonic Transmitter’ and M to M interface. The system comprises of radar type level transmitter for measuring dam water level, ultrasonic transmitter for water discharge level in canal and M to M interface fitted with GSM module for data logging and text messaging as per system architecture outlined hereunder.
