Continuous water level monitoring that gives communities, agencies and operators earlier visibility into developing flood conditions.
Flooding is one of the most damaging natural hazards, and its impact depends heavily on how much warning people receive. A river or channel can look normal in the morning and become dangerous within hours. ToltHawk Flood Monitoring is built to close that gap. It provides a constant, remote view of water levels at the locations where flooding starts, so teams are no longer relying on late reports, phone calls or manual checks.
Many flood-prone locations have no live monitoring at all. Where monitoring exists, it may rely on a few widely spaced stations, leaving local changes unseen. Manual inspections take time and can put staff in unsafe conditions during storms. The result can be delayed decisions, late warnings and avoidable damage.
ToltHawk sensors are installed at flood-prone points such as creeks, low roads, drainage channels, bridges and floodplains. They measure water level and send readings wirelessly to a central dashboard. When water reaches a threshold you define, alerts are sent to the people who need to act. You see conditions at the location itself, rather than relying only on estimates from elsewhere.
A straightforward monitoring workflow connects local measurements with the people responsible for responding.
Sensors are mounted at selected monitoring points. Mounting method and hardware are chosen for the site and installation requirements.
Water-level readings are collected at configured intervals to build a continuous picture of changing conditions.
Readings are transmitted to the ToltHawk platform using a suitable connectivity option for the location.
Configured thresholds trigger notifications, while the dashboard brings current levels and historical readings together.
See rising water as it develops, helping teams assess when to warn residents, close roads or deploy crews.
Reduce the need for staff to visit hazardous locations just to check water conditions during storms.
Set watch, warning and critical thresholds to align notifications with your local response plan.
Use stored readings to support after-event reviews, reporting and longer-term planning.
Start with the highest-risk sites and expand monitoring as priorities and budgets evolve.
Monitor the actual location of concern instead of depending only on readings from distant stations.
Place sensors where water levels affect public safety, infrastructure and day-to-day operations.
Support response decisions with timely, local water-level data.
Monitor flood-prone streets, culverts, bridges and low crossings.
Track channels, drainage areas and basins across a wider service area.
Build a clearer picture of changing conditions at local risk points.
Alerts are triggered when a reading crosses your configured threshold. The time to notification depends on the configured reporting interval and how quickly the reading reaches the platform. Contact ToltHawk to confirm the interval suitable for your application.
Yes. Multiple sensors can be viewed through one dashboard, helping teams review status and readings across their monitored locations.
ToltHawk sensors are designed as self-contained monitoring devices. Power configuration and expected service life depend on the selected device and setup; ask our team to confirm the specification for your site.
Available communication options can include cellular, satellite and LoRaWAN, depending on the device configuration and site coverage.
