The company in charge of water supply and sanitation in the municipality of Blanes now has accurate, real-time data on the weather conditions in the area, especially rain intensity and accumulated rain.
The new station installed at the Aigües de Blanes headquarters is equipped with precision sensors for measuring the main meteorological parameters, including wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure and solar radiation. The datalogger collects the data provided by the sensors for storage and integration in the client’s SCADA system through local MODBUS-TCP communication.
The system has been installed on a 3-meter-high mast made of anodized aluminium to ensure maximum resistance to weathering, with the rain gauge installed separately at 1.5 meters from the ground, in accordance with the recommendations of the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (Meteocat), the Spain’s State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
