Environmental-flow and hydrometric analysis
DK Hydrotech helps mining and hydropower owners and operators use data from existing monitoring systems to assess environmental-flow requirements, flow ramping, and operating conditions. The work can support planning, design, operational and compliance decisions, depending on the project scope.
Align monitoring data with decisions and actions
Flow records and operating data can show whether observed conditions meet site-specific requirements, when events occur, and where data quality limits the analysis. Clear methods and reporting help operations and environmental teams work from the same evidence.
Areas of support
- Analysis of environmental-flow requirements and flow-ramping limits.
- Review and quality checks for hydrometric and operating data.
- Integration of existing monitoring data into decision systems and reports.
- Event review that considers operational, natural, and instrumentation causes.
- Analysis to support monitoring and reporting decisions.
Project example
The WAVE monitoring system project describes near-real-time environmental flow compliance analysis for 19 run-of-river hydropower facilities in British Columbia. It processes sensor data from multiple hydropower facilities for event classification and automated reporting for operations and environmental teams.
Discuss a monitoring question
Share the decision you need to support, any environmental-flow requirements or optimization objectives, and whether monitoring systems are already in place.
