Follow changing conditions
Review oxygen, temperature and other water-quality trends over time, alongside your routine measurements and observations.
Understand the patternFreshwater Sentinel • Remote water monitoring
See what changes between site visits.
A battery-powered sensor node and cellular dashboard bring water-quality trends into view. Built to help freshwater teams understand changing conditions and plan better follow-up.
Integrated prototype. Seeking partners for supervised field evaluation.
More context between samples
Your next visit starts with a clearer picture.
Periodic samples are essential. Freshwater Sentinel adds scheduled measurements between those visits, helping your team explore when conditions change and where a closer look could be useful.
Give field visits a focus
Use recorded changes to identify periods worth investigating and plan reference checks, inspections or additional sampling.
Inform the next visitCheck in from wherever you are
Review historical readings, data arrival and node status remotely through a cellular connection, without relying on site Wi-Fi.
Keep the site in viewMeet the system
From your site to your dashboard.
The prototype brings sensing, internal battery power, cellular telemetry and a remote dashboard together. Sensor selection, sampling and installation are planned around the site and the questions you want to answer.
What you can follow
- Dissolved oxygen & temperature
- View oxygen and thermal patterns relevant to freshwater conditions.
- Turbidity
- Follow changes in water cloudiness and identify periods for closer investigation.
- pH & conductivity
- Review changes in acidity and electrical conductivity alongside other measurements.
The pictured sensor package uses four probes for these five measurements. Sensor selection depends on your monitoring goals and wet or dry site conditions. Readings need calibration and field reference checks to establish accuracy at your site.

Start with your monitoring site
Which changes would you like to understand better?
We're talking with park managers, freshwater monitoring teams, consultants and lake-management contractors about where more frequent measurements could help.
Tell us about your siteLakes, ponds & reservoirs
Explore trends between routine checks and add context around weather, treatment or other site events.
Streams & stormwater sites
Explore monitoring at sites with continuous water or dry periods. Suitability depends on the sensor package, installation, cellular coverage and service access.
Existing monitoring programs
Evaluate remote measurements alongside your current sampling methods and the decisions your team already makes.
Current development stage
Bench-tested. Ready to plan the next field evaluation.
Freshwater Sentinel is an integrated prototype. We are seeking partners to define a supervised deployment and evaluate its usefulness alongside existing reference measurements.
7 days

168 / 168
scheduled hourly sensor cycles recorded
What comes next
Evaluate field accuracy, fouling, deployment durability and maintenance needs. The bench run demonstrates continuity; it does not establish field accuracy or maximum battery endurance.
A useful evaluation starts with a useful question.
First, we discuss your site and monitoring priorities. Then we agree on reference measurements, service access and what a successful evaluation would demonstrate. Scope and duration follow the site’s needs.
Practical questions
Understand the fit for your site.
Does it replace laboratory or regulatory sampling?
No. Freshwater Sentinel is being developed for supplemental monitoring and operational context. It does not replace required sampling, and field or regulatory suitability must be validated for the intended use.
Can it monitor a site that dries out?
Yes, with an appropriate sensor package. Dry-period operation and wet/dry transitions depend on the selected sensors and installation. We'll assess your site's conditions, sensor-care requirements and validation needs when planning a deployment. Water-quality measurements require suitable water contact for the selected probes.
Does the node need site power or Wi-Fi?
The prototype uses an internal battery and cellular data connection. It does not require mains power or site Wi-Fi. Cellular coverage, sampling frequency and the service plan need to be assessed for each location.
What happens after we get in touch?
We'll discuss your water body, current measurements and the gaps you'd like to understand. If there is a fit, we'll work through a supervised field-evaluation plan together. You do not need a finished specification to start the conversation.
