Targeted control of water quality – through continuous monitoring in open systems

In open systems such as reservoirs, wells, or natural bodies of water, water quality is subject to continuous changes. Influencing factors such as weather, temperature, or external inputs lead to dynamic processes that directly affect the state of the water.

Practical challenge

Without continuous monitoring, these changes often go undetected for a long time. Deviations only become visible when they already have operational consequences – for example, through increased processing costs or potential risks to security of supply.

In many applications, decisions are still based on isolated measurements. However, these only provide snapshots and do not allow for a sound assessment of developments or trends.

Continuous data foundation with UNIMON

With UNIMON , GWF AG provides a solution for the continuous monitoring of water quality in open systems. Relevant parameters are recorded, processed, and made available centrally in real time.

This allows for a transparent view of the current system status as well as developments over time. Changes can be detected and tracked early on.

From reacting to proactive management

Continuous data availability forms the basis for proactive plant operation. Decisions are no longer based on individual measurements, but on reliable, continuous data series.

This allows for targeted planning of measures, optimization of operational processes, and early minimization of risks.
