Instrumentation and flood monitoring use case
CLIENT: Municipality of Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, Canada
ISSUES FACED: The municipality of Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac is located on the banks of the Deux-Montagnes Lake (150 km 2 ). Most of the municipality is protected by a dyke. In 2019, the dyke broke, causing unprecedented flooding.
OUR INVOLVEMENT : PR’Eautech team (our distributor based in Montreal) accompanied the municipality in monitoring the water level of the lake. Three radar technology sensors were installed at strategic points to monitor the height of the lake (on the beach, at the lake itself and in a drain). The data recorded by the LNR06 radar sensors are sent every hour to the IJITRACK platform. If a threshold is exceeded, an almost instant alert is immediately transmitted to the municipal employees.
TAKEAWAYS : With this deployment, the management of heavy rainfall and snow melt allows the municipality to prevent all risks of flooding.. The IJITRACK web-based monitoring system very easily generates a graphic report for optimal monitoring. The teams on the ground are highly responsive and guided in their operations by alarms, which are delivered together with recommended actions such as closing the gate valve, restarting a pump, etc.

The selected instrumentation :
The wireless solution of a logger with integrated radar sensor, sending data remotely to the monitoring platform Ijitrack, is the perfect for installations in natural environments.
Radar water level sensor LNR06V4-LE
Water level sensors with integrated radar are autonomous and communicate locally by radio and remotely by 2G/4G. Their design makes them particularly suitable for level measurement in harsh environments.
