Application

• Determination of precipitation volumes for billing purposes within a water association consisting of several communities
• Setup of 7 precipitation measurement spots to detect stormwater volumes
• Transmission of detected data to central access point via GPRS desired

Definition of tasks

• Recording the flow rate to the sewage treatment plant
• Despite changing flow conditions and thus a changing flow profile, the aim is to achieve the most accurate measurement possible

Solution

• Three new rain gauges were addtionally installed. Then each of the 7 measurement stations was equipped with a NivuLog Easy unit for data storage and GPRS transmission.
• The power supply for the data loggers comes directly from the power supply units for heating the precipitation gauges.
• The "Device-to-Web" data portal independently creates all required statistics as daily and monthly values and gathers the data in a common spreadsheet. This significantly facilitates overall evaluation.
• The communities connected additionally get separate access to their readings so that the previously required manual data exchange is no longer necessary.
