Innovative Hydrology was contracted by KSN to install a stream gauge for Water District RD108 in Colusa County, where data is transmitted using GOES Satellite and shared data with CA Department of Water Resources and the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC)
Innovative Hydrology assisted Lake Wildwood, residential community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with the real time monitoring of their lake and flow quantities of irrigation water.
In 2021, Innovative Hydrology made a trip to Panama to install a GOES HRIT Dish to help ENEL Fortuna switch over from a non functioning Direct Readout Ground Station (DRGS) for GOES data reception. The installation included the alignment of the dish, setup the dish receiver, and re-configuration of Decode Software.
In 2021, Innovative Hydrology was tasked with the evaluation, design and installation of Canal monitoring network in Sutter County. Four sites were installed with radar water level sensors with automated data logging and real-time telemetry using GOES satellite. Innovative Hydrology also provides a web visualization service for the data utilizing WXvisual.
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.
