Flood monitoring: real–time water and weather data when you need it most
Awareness when storms intensify and rivers react
Flooding can develop quickly. Heavy rainfall and rising streams can create hazardous conditions before anyone is on-site. Understanding what’s happening—in real time—is essential for quick response and clear communication.
Ott solutions provide continuous water level, rainfall, and flow data to give you a clear picture of changing conditions. Rugged sensors and reliable telemetry deliver the information you need, while intuitive dashboards make the data easy to interpret and share.
When minutes matter
Fit‑for‑purpose methods
Choose the right technology for each site—whether you need non‑contact water level, rainfall tracking, or continuous multi‑parameter monitoring.
Built for tough environments
Rugged sensors and protective housings keep your stations running through storms, debris, and seasonal weather changes.
Actionable insights
Turn rising‑water measurements into meaningful insights. Real‑time dashboards, threshold alerts, and trend tools help you see change early, make quick decisions, and communicate clearly.
Global expertise you can trust
Our team supports flood monitoring networks around the world with practical guidance, proven solutions, and local service— strengthening readiness when conditions escalate.

Frequently Asked Questions
As of 2025, 1.81 billion people—nearly one-quarter of the global population—live in areas facing significant flood risk. Many of these regions are experiencing more extreme rainfall and river flooding than ever before.
Modern flood‑monitoring programs rely on a mix of:
- Water level data (rivers, streams, coastal sites)
- Rainfall intensity and accumulation
- Flow velocity and discharge
- Soil saturation and groundwater
- Forecast models and satellite imagery
Yes—threshold‑based notifications can be sent via text, email, and integrated systems.
Yes—our equipment is engineered to remain reliable during extreme weather.
No. Dashboards are designed to be intuitive and easy to understand.
