Strine Catchment Use Case
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Case Studies
An innovative project to explore ways digital technology can be used to hold and redistribute water from rivers and tributaries is one of the first projects being funded by the River Severn Partnership Advanced Wireless Innovation Region (RSPAWIR).
Partnering with academics from Cranfield University the £250k project will focus on the catchment area of the river Strine which lies between Crudgington and Newport, near Telford, and will see wireless monitoring devices and sensors installed to provide near real-time information which, in the future, will help farmers and landowners manage their water supplies and mitigate flooding.
The project will gather data from the digital equipment to monitor flow through the watercourses and assess demand from farmers and growers to enable saving water for dry periods and controlling the release of water can be developed.
