Solutions

From a stream gauge to a city-wide early-warning network

Four application areas where TerraTransfer systems are deployed today, by national agencies, water utilities, research institutions and OEM partners across more than 30 countries.

Drinking water & utilities

Well levels, pressure, flow and consumption, continuous monitoring of production wells, reservoirs and distribution networks. Pulse-counter adapters for any standard water meter.
