Rivers
Monitoring, and getting alerted to high or low water levels, helps protect communities from natural disasters and emergencies like flooding.
Monitoring river water levels also helps with managing electricity generation from dams, water availability for municipalities, and managing land and habitats.
Oceans
Water level monitoring of oceans over long periods of time are particularly helpful in understanding the circulation of the ocean.
Specifically monitoring coastal liquid levels helps build evidence to understand coastal processes and where the risks and opportunities are in coastal management.
For those that have boats in marinas, knowing what the water level in real time is helps prevent boat and property damage. Get alerted when the level goes too high or too low so you can make decisions to protect your assets.
Ponds
Ponds are relied on as a water source for agriculture and households. Knowing the level history can help farmers manage their water usage for animals and crops.
Aquifers
Aquifers are relied on as a safe and stable water source - but what happens when there is over-pumping or plugged equipment? Knowing the liquid level and liquid level history can prevent costly equipment damage as well as protect aquifer sustainability.
