Real-time awareness of water levels inside drains, channels and basins as rainfall and runoff change.
Stormwater infrastructure is designed to move heavy rainfall away from streets, homes and businesses. But much of it is underground or out of sight, so its condition is usually unknown until something goes wrong. Stormwater Monitoring from ToltHawk makes the system visible, showing how it responds as rainfall builds and runoff increases.
Blocked culverts, overloaded channels and full basins can go unnoticed until water is already on the road. Crews are sent out after complaints instead of before problems start. Urban growth and heavier rainfall also mean systems may be asked to handle more than they were designed for. Without data, it is hard to know where maintenance or upgrades are needed most.
ToltHawk sensors are placed at selected culverts, storm drains, channels, detention basins and other key points. They track water levels remotely, helping teams see where levels are rising and which locations may be under strain. During a storm, you can follow conditions as readings arrive. Afterward, the data helps identify locations that may need maintenance or improvement.
Monitor the locations that matter during rainfall and use the resulting record to guide response and maintenance.
Identify drains, culverts, channels and basins where better visibility would help your team.
Place sensors at selected locations. Installation method and placement depend on the structure and site conditions.
Readings are collected and sent wirelessly to the dashboard as conditions change.
Use alerts during storms and review historical readings to support maintenance and planning decisions.
See water levels during rainfall rather than relying only on reports after an event.
Identify unusual or sustained high levels that may indicate a blockage or an overloaded point.
Help direct crews to locations where monitoring data suggests attention may be needed.
Use measured performance to inform infrastructure upgrades and budget priorities.
Maintain a record of water-level readings for internal reviews and applicable reporting needs.
Review readings from multiple monitored points through a central dashboard.
Use local measurements to understand how stormwater infrastructure responds to runoff and heavy rainfall.
Oversee street drainage, culverts and stormwater networks.
Monitor detention basins, drainage channels and outfalls.
Compare real-world water-level behavior with design assumptions.
Improve visibility into drainage performance around property and operations.
Suitability depends on the sensor model, mounting position, clearance and conditions at the site. Contact ToltHawk to confirm the appropriate configuration for an enclosed drain or culvert.
Configured water-level thresholds can trigger automatic notifications when readings cross the levels you define. Alert timing depends on the reporting interval and communication conditions.
Yes. Repeated or sustained high readings can help flag locations for inspection and may point to blockages, capacity constraints or other issues that need further assessment.
Yes. Multiple sensors can be viewed through a central dashboard so teams can compare conditions across monitored points.
