Meeting the challenges of successful water resources management requires the selection of the appropriate technology as well as site for acquisition and communications of accurate and reliable hydrometeorological data. RTi has extensive domestic as well as international experience in the evaluation, design, installation, and operation and maintenance of hydrological and meteorological data acquisition and communications networks, for municipal governments to federal agencies, large water conservation districts, and industrial clients. Our solutions have ranged from monitoring stations for surface and ground water quality and quantity to meteorological data collection platforms, and from urban flood warning networks to remote high-altitude climate monitoring stations.

We are proficient with both conventional and real-time, continuous data monitoring networks using a wide range of instrumentation for water level, flow velocity, soil moisture, climate, and water chemistry measurements. Our data collection platforms can include queried, scheduled, and event-triggered data communications using telephone, radio and satellite communications technologies. We work closely with our clients to identify monitoring objectives and customize the data communications solution to ensure system versatility for current as well as future data acquisition needs.
