All-in-one weather stations have been installed in tree fruit production areas in Creston and Grand Forks, BC to provide information for pest management. The stations monitor 12 parameters and communicate using LoRaWAN. The data is being used for the BC Decision Aid System (BCDAS).

Peak HydroMet Solutions provides real-time monitoring of water levels, be it rivers, streams, reservoirs, wells, or piezometers. Use overhead ultrasonic or radar sensors or submersible pressure transducers to monitor surface water or groundwater. Current projects involve measuring and reporting inflow, outflow, well levels, and volumes of water extracted using flow Read more…

Working with a group of local farmers to capture and display sensor data that can be used to monitor irrigation water quality along the Fraser River in Delta, British Columbia. The project consists of retrieving salinity, depth, temperature, tide, flow, and weather information from various sources and making it readily Read more…

Accurate and granular weather data is key to providing effective parametric insurance coverage that minimizes basis risk. A large client contracted Peak HydroMet to evaluate several reanalysis models to identify the most appropriate for agricultural index insurance in Canada. Model results were compared with high-quality station observations to determine the Read more…
