Water Management Solutions

Continuous, remote
monitoring for water agencies

Two decades of helping farms manage water, now applied to agencies and infrastructure. Monitor surface water, wells, pipelines, and groundwater — and control pumps — through one open platform that talks to SCADA, Modbus, PLCs, and more.

Surface Water

Surface water is shaped by weather, pollution, agriculture, and land use, which increasingly demands continuous monitoring. Ranch Systems telemetry performs hydrological and water-quality monitoring of fresh water — still water like lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, as well as the running water of streams and rivers.

We integrate a wide range of sensors: multi-parameter sondes, submersible and radar level, and bubblers, plus a full range of adjunct weather stations. Systems can support flood-warning and stormwater applications.

Features

  • Hydrological measurement of level and flow
  • Water-quality monitoring with multi-parameter sondes
  • Ancillary weather monitoring

Benefits

  • Frequent access to detailed data
  • Long-term cost savings
  • No manual collection or remote travel

Water Infrastructure

The same experience that helped large farms manage irrigation now helps agencies manage infrastructure. Remotely and continuously monitor tanks, ponds, reservoirs, and wells; track pipeline pressure and flow; and monitor and control pump stations. Modbus-compatible and SCADA-friendly, with open architecture that fits your existing systems.

Features

  • Tank, pond, and reservoir levels
  • Pipeline pressure and flow
  • Well monitoring, including quality
  • Pump-station monitoring & control; SCADA integration

Benefits

  • Address issues before they become problems
  • Improve monitoring and management
  • Reduce costs through labor savings
  • Better meet reporting requirements

Groundwater

Significant experience monitoring both water-supply wells and groundwater monitoring wells. Track level with submersible or ultrasonic sensors and discharge through any pulse-output flow meter. Our pump-control expertise extends to electric motors, VFDs (Yaskawa, Danfoss, Franklin Electric, and more), and even diesel engines with Modbus controllers, and a wide range of water-quality sensors can be applied.

Features

  • In-situ, real-time level and/or quality
  • Compatible with a wide range of sensors
  • Pump control and discharge measurement

Benefits

  • Better groundwater management long term
  • Helps determine influences and use
  • Estimates recharge rates

Alerting, Reporting & Dashboards

Advanced decision support built into the online application. Alerting is quick to set up yet can be triggered by any sensor — or "virtual" sensor data based on multiple inputs and algorithms. Custom reports generate and deliver automatically, data exports easily, and customizable dashboards with widgets surface exactly what an operation needs to act on.

Features

  • Easy text, voice, and email alerts
  • Customizable reports for export or auto-email
  • Customizable decision-support dashboards

Benefits

  • Early detection and failure prevention
  • Automated administration of monitoring data
  • More effective, timely decisions

Also available for agencies

Soil moisture and weather, on the same platform

Soil Moisture

Hundreds of installs of experience, compatible with the sensors found across the market and installed to give accurate, meaningful data. View it with best-in-class stacked graphs featuring color banding and annotation, plus year-over-year comparison. Stations expand easily with weather sensors.

Weather & Climate

Open architecture lets agencies configure stations to their requirements and budget — from a basic station with telemetry to a meteorological-grade build. Augment any existing station with weather sensors, and import or export data from sources like CIMIS or Weather Underground.
