Hydra-IQ™

Monitor and Measure Water Quality with Ease

SciDev has developed HydraIQ™, a water quality monitoring system to measure the quality of natural water bodies. The system automatically measures and monitors water quality remotely, sending real-time data to a secure cloud platform for analysis and reporting.

Hydra-IQ automatically measures and monitors the quality of natural water bodies and site water, sending real-time data to a secure cloud platform for analysis and reporting. The system can track turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, TDS, TSS, ORP, algae, temperature, alkalinity, ammonium, chloride, sodium, calcium, bromide, chlorophyll-a, nitrate, oil and other parameters as required.

Units use IoT technology to monitor key metrics in real time, 24 hours a day, and are powered by solar and battery with remote telemetry transmission — built for sites where a wired connection isn't practical. Each deployment is customisable: sites identify the parameters to monitor, the number of units to deploy and the reporting frequency required, in line with regulatory guidelines and client specifications.

A self-cleaning function reduces the number of maintenance visits required to remote locations, supporting safer, more efficient and more sustainable operations. One Western Australian mine site client said: "Their online connectivity projects and Telstra system implementation have significantly improved efficiency, freeing up resources and enhancing reliability. I highly recommend their expertise and technology."

Mining, Construction, Industrial and Commercial Clients use HydraIQ™ to Ensure Compliance and Protect the Environment

• For regional clients managing large areas, e.g., mining sites, HydraIQ™ units are placed strategically around the site, sending real-time data back to site managers and alerting them when water quality issues arise.
• For urban construction projects, HydraIQ™ monitors stormwater runoff to prevent contaminants from entering local waterways, helping to protect the environment.
• Industrial and commercial clients near major waterways can ensure compliance and protect the environment by monitoring water quality upstream and downstream to assess their facility’s impact. This setup helps identify multiple points of contamination, ensuring compliance and protecting local ecosystems.
