Water Resource Monitoring Solutions

Effective water resource management depends on reliable, real-time environmental data. ISG Devices, through its HydroLynx Systems product line, provides weather monitoring stations and hydrological sensing equipment used by water agencies, flood control districts, USGS cooperators, and environmental researchers across North America.

HydroLynx Hydrological Monitoring Systems

HydroLynx Systems, acquired by ISG Devices in April 2023, has a decades-long track record of providing monitoring solutions for water resource professionals. HydroLynx systems are deployed at river and stream gauging stations, dam and reservoir monitoring sites, flood warning networks, irrigation district monitoring stations, and groundwater observation wells.

These systems typically combine water level sensors, precipitation gauges, and weather instruments with a data logger and telemetry system (cellular, satellite GOES/Iridium, or radio) to deliver real-time data to central offices and public alerting systems.

Flood Warning and Emergency Management

Real-time water level and rainfall data saves lives during flood events. HydroLynx monitoring stations serve as critical components in local and regional flood warning networks, providing automated water level measurement with configurable alarm thresholds, rainfall intensity monitoring for flash flood prediction, GOES satellite telemetry for reliable data delivery even when cellular networks are disrupted, and integration with ALERT and ALERT2 flood warning protocols used by county and regional agencies.

Dam and Reservoir Monitoring

Dam safety regulations require continuous monitoring of reservoir pool elevations, tailwater levels, and precipitation. HydroLynx systems support these requirements with high-accuracy water level sensors (shaft encoder, pressure transducer, and radar options), redundant data transmission via satellite and cellular, automated reporting to state dam safety agencies, and historical data logging for trend analysis and compliance documentation.

Agricultural Water Management

Irrigation districts and agricultural operations rely on accurate weather and water data for efficient water allocation. HydroLynx weather stations provide evapotranspiration (ET) data for irrigation scheduling, soil moisture monitoring (when integrated with compatible sensors), canal and ditch flow monitoring, and weather forecasting data for crop management decisions.

Environmental and Climate Research

Research institutions and government agencies use HydroLynx systems for long-term climate data collection, watershed study monitoring networks, wetland and estuary water level tracking, and snowpack and snowmelt monitoring for water supply forecasting.

Fluid Level Sensors for Water/Wastewater

ISG Devices' solid-state fluid level sensors complement the HydroLynx product line by providing point-level detection capabilities for pump stations, chemical feed systems, and treatment equipment where reliable fluid presence/absence detection is needed.
