Dam Monitoring & Management Using Remote Software and Data Loggers

Monitoring water level, soil moisture, and weather conditions at dam sites to ensure safety and protect water resources

HOBO Dam Monitoring Tools Protect Water Resources and the People Who Rely on Them

Track reservoir water levels, upstream rainfall, and soil moisture around earthen dams to identify changing conditions and guide site inspections. Add water quality measurements, including dissolved oxygen and water temperature, to assess conditions in reservoirs and downstream waters.

Choose stand-alone HOBO loggers for on-site data collection or cellular stations for remote access through LI-COR Cloud. HOBO weather stations and compatible sensors can add the site-specific measurements you need. Review conditions across multiple dam sites and configure alarm notifications to help prioritize inspections and follow-up.

Key Measurements for Dam Monitoring

Water Level

Record water levels in reservoirs, rivers, and lakes to identify trends and track changes during rainfall events, seasonal transitions, and dam operations.

Rainfall

Measure rainfall at the dam site or upstream monitoring locations to understand precipitation patterns alongside changes in water level.

Soil Moisture

Track soil moisture at selected locations around earthen dams to document changing ground conditions and support investigation of unusual wetness or potential seepage.

Dissolved Oxygen

Measure dissolved oxygen to identify low-oxygen conditions and assess aquatic habitat in reservoirs and downstream waters.

Water Temperature

Record water temperature over time to understand seasonal patterns and provide context for dissolved oxygen measurements and aquatic conditions.
