Australias National Capital – Canberra, has been relying on our Sentinel project group for over 15 years to manage the Flood Early Warning System (FEWS) for Scrivener Dam. The monitoring & communications system uses state of the art ELPRO ALERT hardware, to provide real time rainfall and water level data to dam operators and warn of potential flooding events. With threat of more frequent intense rainfall events under future climate change scenario, and increasing urbanisation of the river catchments, the warning system provides a cost effective option for improving the safety and resilience of local residents during extreme weather events.
