In 2018, Innovative Hydrology modernized the county of Sutter flood monitoring network, replacing ultrasonic water level sensors with radar, repairing vandalized equipment and installing a new bubbler with orifice line. Along with the sensors all data loggers and radios were updated with newer equipment.
In 2017, Innovative Hydrology installed a GOES HRIT Dish to help SFWPA switch over from the legacy DOMSAT receiver and dish. The installation included the alignment of the dish, setup the dish receiver, which receives, decompresses, decrypts and outputs the data to a directory that can then be decoded and archived and viewed in near-realtime.
In 2017, Innovative Hydrology installed a GOES HRIT Dish to help USBR receive GOES data via satellite. The installation included the alignment of the dish, setup the dish receiver, which receives, decompresses, decrypts and outputs the data to a directory that can then be decoded and archived and viewed in near-realtime.
In 2018, Innovative Hydrology performed a radio path survey to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a 900MHz radio network on the Summit Lake reservation. The evaluation resulted in a 4 station radio network that linked the existing stream gauges to one central location where data can be sent out over GOES satellite. The use of the 900Mhz radios eliminated the need for 3 extra GOES radios, and allowed telemetry to sites where GOES line of site was not available.
Real-time Decision Support System for Operational Management Reservoirs
The Bhakra-Beas Management Board (BBMB) has authority over the Satluj and Beas rivers in the daunting terrain of the Himalaya Mountains. The watershed actually originates in China and flows into India and into Bhakra Dam and Pong Dam. The storage facilities serve as a water supply system for the States of the Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana. Water from this vital water supply system reaches as far as the State of Rajasthan. Innovative Hydrology, as a subcontractor to the Danish Hydrologic Institute (DHI), is the lead expert in developing a modernized Data Acquisition System (DAS) and Hydrologic Information System (HIS) in the forbidding climate and terrain of the catchment. The effort included network design, as well as the development of specification for tendering the installation of the network. Other tasks include equipment testing and acceptance as well as general supervision of installation activities as well as training on the operation and maintenance of such a system. Developing a network to operate in the remote and difficult access areas presented by the Himalaya has been a challenge and a hallmark achievement for Innovative Hydrology.
Innovative Hydrology is involved in the development of the Nzoia early flood warning system; working as a consultant to the World Bank and working closely with the Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA).
Consultancy for Water Resources Real-Time Monitoring Systems
Innovative Hydrology is providing consultancy to the World bank with the objective to support the countries of the Eastern Nile to better manage long and short term climate risks. As part of this project, Innovative Hydrology is involved with evaluation and design for a Water Resources Real-Time Monitoring System.
Flood Warning System Modernization
Sutter County is surrounded by a levee system which protects the County from high water on the Sacramento and Feather River, as well flood flow releases that flow through the Sutter Bypass. In 2010, Innovative Hydrology modernized the Sutter County flood warning system which consisted of upgrading the gauging station to use satellite telemetry through GOES, as well as the development and installation of a ground station complete with visualization and web dissemination of data. Innovative Hydrology has been providing support to the Sutter County flood warning system for 10 years which protects socio-economic interests of the County Bypass.
