Smart monitoring of groundwater level and quality

SpaceEcho provides automated monitoring stations with sensors and data loggers that continuously measure groundwater level and water quality. Data reaches EchoCloud in real time, for continuous monitoring of aquifer conditions and trends, with live well-level tracking on the EchoCloud dashboard.

Inside every station

Solar power system: Powers the station for continuous, reliable operation in remote locations.
Data logger and communication: Transmits data via GSM and Ethernet to EchoCloud.
Weather protection enclosure: IP65-rated, protecting the equipment from dust, rain and harsh environments.
Built-in battery: Backup power for uninterrupted operation during low sunlight or power fluctuations.
Water quality probe (LEVELINE): Installed in the well to measure water quality parameters in real time.

On EchoCloud, every station adds real-time monitoring, cloud connectivity, smart alerts, and historical data and reports.

Data acquisition

ECHO-Gateway — cloud-enabled IoT data logger

The core of every station. It acquires sensor data, stores it locally, and pushes it to EchoCloud over whichever communication path is available on site.

Field configurations

Wells and stations are combined in three field-proven configurations, for different observation and assessment requirements.

Single station — localized monitoring

Monitors conditions at a specific observation well, providing site-specific data and identifying local variations over time.

A single groundwater station at one observation well — One station, one well.

Profile station — directional monitoring

Uses a series of aligned observation wells and stations to track groundwater changes along a defined direction, supporting analysis of groundwater movement and seawater intrusion.

Stations in a line, from the coast inland.

Grid station — spatial mapping

Deploys observation wells and monitoring stations across a defined area to capture spatial variations and generate detailed, high-resolution groundwater contour maps.

A grid of stations across an area, producing a groundwater contour map — Stations across an area, mapped as contours.

In the field

At the Hawara archaeological site in Fayum, Egypt, nine SpaceEcho stations have monitored groundwater since 2020, including infiltration and flooding inside the pyramid itself.

Case study Groundwater and environmental monitoring at the Hawara Pyramid In 2020 SpaceEcho installed nine monitoring stations at the Hawara archaeological site in Fayum, Egypt, with the support of international and national organizations. They track groundwater and subsurface water, surface water around the Bahr Wahba canal, and conditions inside and around the pyramid. Learn more
