Brief Description:
The Water Level Monitoring Station with Rain Gauge or the Tandem Station is composed of both a mechanical tipping bucket and an ultrasonic sensor that measure rainfall parameters and water level.
Problem Addressed:
Need for a locally-developed and cost-effective weather station that provides timely rainfall and water level data.
Advantages:
- The station is rugged and standalone which can be deployed even in remote areas;
- The station derives its power from the solar energy, backed up by internal rechargeable battery;
- The station monitors real-time rainfall data and water level changes in specific localities all over the country;
- The gathered water level and rainfall data can be viewed and accessed through the Philsensor website managed by ASTI; and
- The station is controlled by the data logger (arQ) developed by ASTI.
Market Potential:
Research Institutions, Policy-creating and implementing bodies, Local Government Units and Non-government Organizations
