The world is advancing greatly these days, especially the environmental parameters. All these parameters demand timely monitoring so as to obtain the performance of these parameters. Since many years, most of the researchers are really striving hard to develop technology and instruments to monitor these parameters. All these instruments and devices provide approximate values but to obtain accurate values, it is important to have special kind of tools to monitor these parameters. Monitoring water related parameters are even a bigger challenge because the flow of water is very harsh at times and even the water in rivers and oceans get rough and aggressive.

It has become a necessity to measure and monitor all the environmental data through a wireless technique because reaching at a particular spot for monitoring can be cumbersome. Paying a physical visit to collect water traditionally from a site can be a difficult task. That is why; these days, technology has given an opportunity of monitoring environmental data at real-time that too wirelessly. Moreover, conventional lake monitoring and oceanographic systems may undergo some damages or breakdown due to traffic of boats or even debris. But to tackle all these challenges, researchers have developed a permanent solution to cater to such needs that too in association with the Intelligent Rivers Project.

Be it any kind of weather, harsh climatic conditions or aggressive river movements, the innovative buoy system supports real-time capturing of water and transmitting its quality data even while on long distances. The buoy has greater capacity of withstanding any kind of abuses from floating debris and even boat traffic. The design of buoy somewhat resembles a common marker buoy which makes it sure that the attention of users who curiously access river will also not be withdrawn. To access the buoy, special kind of tool is required to access the inner compartment of the buoy which is not possible as its design is tamperproof. The buoy is in-built with rechargeable lead-acid batteries which can be recharged if the battery drains out completely. The batteries can be charged even on-board and the battery lasts for nearly a month and sometimes even more.

Some of the major applications of buoy are mostly found in monitoring of rivers and to capture sensors from lakes and stream because of its capability of floating in water and withstanding any harsh weather or sea conditions. It can be easily installed in water or in rivers with the help of anchors and fasten it to obtain the real-time data. Some of the benefits of using buoy are it is very cost-effective, it is a system which is wireless and is real-time transmission of data, and lastly, its extended usage or usage while being on long distances. It has great durability in even fast flowing waters. Most of the oceanographic researchers have widely adopted installing and using buoy because of its unique capabilities and benefits.

Telemetry refers to a highly advanced and automated communication system where measurements are made and data collected without a person having to be present physically. In simple words this system can help you take measurements of various elements, processes and activities without any human contact. Businesses are fast employing this technology as it is helping them increase their productivity. Law enforcement agencies, meteorological agencies, disaster management agencies etc. are among the primary users of this technology. Today this technology has been further advanced with the data being transmitted wirelessly across large distances. Let us now discuss some of the advantages of wireless telemetry systems

• Real-time Data Collection

Wireless telemetry systems allow us to measure and collect data at remote or inaccessible points and this data can be transmitted easily over large distances in real time. The advantage of being able to look into events and processes as they happen are innumerable. Apart from monitoring the events as they happen this also allows us to exercise more control over the outcome of the event or the process.

• Reduces Operational Costs

One of the biggest advantages of using this system is that it helps you in reducing operational costs. Since the data is collected and transmitted automatically from faraway locations there is reduced requirements of human resource have to collect the data manually. This can help any organization cut operational costs substantially.

• Reduces Risks On Human Life

There are occasions where people have to work in highly dangerous situations. This might involve monitoring an active volcano or keeping track of a tornado. Wireless telemetry systems don’t require a person to be physically present and take a risk on his/her life. All the data that needs to be collected can be done from the comfort of a lab hundreds of miles away.

• Prevents Natural Disasters

Wireless telemetry systems are finding extensive usage in disaster management. For example this system can be used to measure the rising level of water in a river for flood control or measure the speed of wind on high sea barges. Fed with such information in real time can help reduce the impact of natural calamities if not prevent them.

• Collects Data From Moving Objects

This technology can be used to collect data from objects that are in constant motion. For instance this technology can be applied to pin point the exact location of a train over a large railway network or measure its speed at any instant.

• Data Sharing

Since the data collected us transmitted wirelessly this also gives us the scope of sharing this data. For instance information regarding an imminent flood like situation can be shared between different entities such as the government, disaster management agencies, healthcare; transportation etc. that can help tackles such situations in a much smoother way.

These are some of the popular advantages of wireless telemetry systems. Since this system is finding its usage across a number of businesses and agencies one can easily argue that there are many other advantages associated with this system.
