River & Catchment Management

We create custom web applications for river network management, enabling users to analyse, visualise, and maintain river data through an intuitive interface.

Create, modify, and remove river network edges.

Our River & Catchment Management System provides advanced mapping and analysis tools for visualising river networks and identifying critical areas with the ability to create, modify and remove river network edges based on critical analysis, on a user friendly interface.

Optimise Environmental Monitoring & Infrastructure Planning

Knowing the location of sinks is important for monitoring water quality and tracking the movement of pollutants within a river network. This information helps in identifying pollution sources and implementing remediation measures. Sinks are also relevant for infrastructure planning, as they influence the design and placement of bridges, culverts, and other water-related structures.

Reduce the time and effort required to determine flow direction

Algorithms used for automatic flow direction calculation are based on digital elevation models (DEMs) and other spatial data, providing more accurate and consistent results than manual methods. This minimises human error and ensures data reliability. By using our HydroTools solution, users are able to automatically calculate flow direction streamlines river network analysis.

Move river edges between hydrometric area boundaries.

Moving river edges between hydrometric area boundaries within Hydro Tools enables precise adjustments to catchment delineations, ensuring accurate representation of water flow and contributing areas. This functionality is crucial for refining hydrological models, aligning data with regulatory boundaries, and facilitating seamless data integration across different administrative or monitoring zones, ultimately improving the reliability of analyses and management decisions.

Our River & Catchment Management System

Tracsis Geo Intelligence provides custom web applications which are a powerful solution for organisations seeking to improve their river and catchment management capabilities. 

This use case outlines a proposed solution for organisations within the Transport, Agricultural, Environmental, Government & Community sectors across the UK and Europe. The solution leverages a combination of GIS solutions, data analytics, software, and mobile app development to enhance data management, analysis, and decision-making.

Potential challenges clients may face

  • Inconsistent Data

Organisations often struggle with disparate data sources, leading to inconsistencies in data formats and quality. This hinders accurate analysis and informed decision-making.

  • Complex Network Analysis

Analysing river networks, including flow direction, upstream/downstream connections, and proximity to features, can be complex and time-consuming. Traditional methods may lack the precision needed for effective management.

  • Sediment and Nutrient Risk Assessment

Accurately assessing sediment and nutrient loads and their potential impacts on river systems is crucial for environmental management. Lack of effective tools can hinder proactive mitigation efforts.

  • Water Quality Monitoring 

Pinpointing potential pollution sources and assessing water quality requires precise spatial analysis of river networks. Without real time data, and quick identification of sources can impact reaction times.

  • Environmental Impact Assessments

Evaluating the potential impacts of development projects on river systems requires comprehensive spatial analysis and modelling.

Our Solution

Tracsis Geo Intelligence design and develop custom web applications for managing, analysing, and visualising river networks.

We provide organisations with a full river network system that allows users to add and edit rivers while collecting and maintaining valuable data insights presented on a user-friendly interface. 

Tracsis Geo Intelligence Hydro Tools provides users with the ability to create:

  • Sediment Risk Maps
  • Morphology
  • Nutrient Load Calculations
  • Assessing Salmon Breeding Ground

 

System Features

  • User-friendly interface: Intuitive and easy-to-use interface with customisable dashboards and reporting tools.
  • Robust data management: Secure data storage, version control, and audit trails to ensure data integrity.
  • Advanced mapping and analysis tools: Interactive maps, spatial analysis tools, and visualisation capabilities.
  • Integration with existing data sources: Seamless integration with other relevant data sources, such as GIS data, remote sensing imagery, and hydrological models.
  • Scalability and flexibility: Customisable to meet the specific needs and requirements of each organisation..

These web tools offer significant value across various environmental applications. In Water Quality Assessment, they pinpoint potential pollution sources upstream of sampling locations. For Flood Risk Assessment, they analyse upstream areas to identify flood sources and assess downstream impacts.

 In Habitat Assessment, they determine the extent of upstream and downstream connectivity for aquatic species. Finally, in Environmental Impact Assessments, they evaluate the potential impacts of development projects on river systems.

How Local Authorities can ensure water quality through our solutions

For local authorities, maintaining water quality is paramount for public health and environmental stewardship. Tracsis Geo Intelligence’s Hydro Tools provide a powerful platform to achieve this. By enabling detailed river network analysis, pollutant tracking, and real-time monitoring integration, our solutions empower local governments to proactively manage water quality and respond swiftly to potential threats.

We have a proven track record of delivering these solutions to local authorities, resulting in tangible improvements in water quality monitoring, pollution source identification, and effective implementation of remediation strategies, ultimately safeguarding vital water resources for their communities.
