Problem
Traditional methods of water level monitoring often require specialized infrastructure and direct contact with the water, leading to potential equipment damage and high initial investment costs. Existing solutions may also lack real-time data accessibility and comprehensive coverage for effective water resource management and flood alert systems.
Solution
TideSat offers a data-as-a-service solution for real-time water level monitoring, utilizing a parasitic radar sensor that measures water levels from a distance with centimeter-level accuracy. The sensor employs GPS reflectometry, using radio waves transmitted from satellites to measure water levels without direct contact. Data is transmitted to the cloud, processed, and made available through a web dashboard, providing users with continuous access from any device. This approach enables timely flood alerts, improved water resource management, and long-term data collection for modeling and forecasting.
Target Audience
TideSat's primary customers include organizations involved in water resource management, flood control, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure planning, such as government agencies, municipalities, and environmental consulting firms.
