Description

In today’s increasingly stressed water, weather, and environmental systems, the ability to collect accurate, real-time information while protecting water professionals and communities is attracting a great deal of interest.

Whether you are new to radar hydrology — the use of radar technology for water measurement — or want to discover the latest monitoring advances, don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and participate in a Q&A session.

Radar hydrology experts Stefan Siedschlag, Dr. Anton Felder, and Edgar Wetzel will describe the role of radar in hydrological monitoring and analysis. They will focus exclusively discharge and water level, in particular.

Learn how non-contact measurement devices remove all interference from the medium being measured, providing an unbiased means of assessing quantitative changes in water bodies. Also discover how advanced water monitoring delivers real-time insights into river dynamics, allowing for better drought and flood management in addition to optimizing water resources.

Agenda

  • Use of radar in hydrology
  • How radar technology can contribute to the understanding and management of water resources
  • Real-life examples of the effectiveness of radar in hydrological monitoring and analysis
