Teifi Nutrient Monitoring Dashboard
Led by Ceredigion County Council in collaboration with the West Wales Nutrient Management Board (WWNMB), the Teifi Nutrient Monitoring (TNM) project has unveiled its groundbreaking nutrient management sensor dashboard, a first of its kind, now live on the Council’s website. This cutting-edge platform leverages advanced technology to address water quality challenges in the Teifi River catchment.
The dashboard integrates data from sensors deployed across key locations on the Teifi and its tributaries. These sensors, supported by Lacuna’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity, ensure continuous data transmission, even from remote areas, providing stakeholders with a timely and up-to-date view of critical water quality parameters, such as phosphate levels and river height fluctuations.
The Clearwater high-frequency sensors have proven remarkably resilient during recent storms, continuing to provide valuable data even in challenging conditions. In addition to monitoring water quality, the dashboard imports river height levels during extreme weather events, offering year-on-year comparisons that are beneficial for nutrient management, flood management, and other Council services.
