Experimental Assessment of Non-Contact Sensing Technologies for Remote River Level Monitoring

An experimental study of three non-contact water level sensors Ultrasonic, Radar, and LiDAR to evaluate their performance, limitations, and overall reliability for monitoring rivers in remote areas without cellular coverage. As a complete solution, the system is designed to be low-cost and battery-efficient system, with a long operational lifetime that makes it well suited for remote river deployments. Sensor data is transmitted over LoRaWAN and Cellular networks to a live visualization platform, helping decision-makers act quickly on flood risk, agriculture, and hydroelectric planning.
