Weather Stations for Water Storage & Water Recycling

Water storage facilities require accurate local weather data for:

• Evaporation rate monitoring 
  Use either the traditional method of a Class ‘A’ Evaporation Pan, with some modern features to minimise maintenance, or; use the FAO56 Penman equation from your Weather Station which is an electronic method, considered to be accurate, reliable and requires less maintenance.
• Prediction and management of algal blooms
  Water temperatures within the storage, as well as weather conditions surrounding the storage, contribute to the risk and management of algal bloom.
• Rainfall and water level data
  The water levels within the storage are affected by inflow and outflow rates; rainfall, evaporation and seepage. Together, these parameters can be used to monitor water flows and calculate changes in water storage levels.  Water Level sensors can be added for a complete picture.
• Monitor Odour Drift 
  Water recycling facilities will often have to contend with odour complaints from nearby sensitive receivers and residents.  Using a 10m mast weather station to satisfy your environmental licencing, you can accurately track the drift and dispersion of the wind from your treatment plant.

• The heart of the weather station, the Weather Maestro data logger, is available in 10, 12, 16 or 20 channel versions to ensure all your critical weather parameters are monitored.
• It features a powerful processor with a large and easily configurable on-board memory.
• The recorder is pre-programmed with Environdata’s custom-designed software (capable of calculating evaporation data based on the FAO56 Penman Equation) and can include a range of communication and remote monitoring options.

• The Weather Maestro is energy efficient and solar powered as standard.

• The modular design utilises integrated mounting options as well as custom mountings to allow you to meet your specific site and communication requirements.

The Weather Maestro weather station package includes Environdata’s 'WeatherMation Direct' weather station software.

This Windows-based package:

• ideal for Set up and troubleshooting of your weather station
• direct cable downloading with intuitive GUI
• features a range of export options
• Viewing of real time weather data in an easy to read format
• manages multiple weather stations at once
• your weather data can integrate with 3rd party software packages

The Weather Maestro can also include Environdata’s 'WeatherMation LIVE' weather station software & service.

• Automate data collection from your weather stations
• Access your data securely from any device with a browser
• Manage, View and Report from multiple weather stations
• Send weather data to your SCADA automatically
• Alert you to specified weather events by SMS or email

Environdata offers a wide range of communications options which can be integrated into our weather stations. The choice depends on the location of your weather station and where & when you want the data to be available.

Typical connectivity for Water Storage & Water Treatment Weather Stations is via UHF or Cable connection to MODBUS TCP/IP or via Cellular connection to WeatherMation LIVE.  Talk to our professional staff to determine what is best for you!

Environdata technicians perform regular service trips within Australia to provide installation, training and onsite calibration and repairs. Every Weather Maestro weather station is delivered pre-configured to your specific requirements and includes a comprehensive handbook. Free backup support by telephone or email is provided for the life of the system.
