Understanding catchments · Recognising critical situations earlier
Overview
Critical water situations do not arise at a single gauge. What matters is how precipitation, inflows, retention areas and vulnerable locations interact across the entire catchment.
e.Ray links local water-level and discharge measurements with existing specialist information, weather data, DWD warnings, EFAS and satellite products – in future also including data from the SWOT mission. Separate data sources become a digital water situational picture that places developments in their spatial context and prepares decisions.
In development
We are building the foundation
We are building the foundation
for water intelligence.
We process data from monitoring networks, remote sensing, models and specialist systems in reliable data pipelines and merge time series with different sampling intervals. The result is a securely managed data basis that our users can apply directly – and on which intelligent systems will in future operate under controlled conditions.
Satellite & remote sensing
Integration of Earth observation data – including SWOT satellite data – into the hydrological context.
From commissions and research
Modules grow out of real-world tasks, commissioned work and research projects into solutions ready for practice.
Insight
The entire catchment.
The entire catchment.
Not just its gauges.
A system that does not merely display measuring points but places them in their hydrological context.
Capabilities
From the reading
From the reading
to the situational picture.
Existing systems remain in place. e.Ray connects their information where it is worth more together than on its own.
Bring data together
Water levels, discharges, precipitation, weather, SWOT and other satellite data as well as specialist information in one interface.
Understand spatially
View water bodies, sub-catchments, inflows, retention areas and critical zones in context.
Assess developments
Not only see thresholds, but place dynamics, history and possible impacts in context.
Prepare actions
Priorities, advisories and documented procedures for administration, operational planning and water-body operation.
Dual use
Used day to day.
Used day to day.
Ready in an emergency.
A platform that only waits for a flood is rarely tested. The e.Ray situational picture works every day – and is therefore familiar when it matters.
Understanding water bodies continuously
Water levels, discharges, low water, water quality and operating data converge in one shared picture.
Recognising critical developments
Heavy rain, flooding and unusual inflows are placed in their spatial context. The competent authorities receive the same data basis.
Reconstructing events
Triggers, the course of events over time, advisories and responses remain documented – as a basis for evaluation and prevention.
Assessing the situation and deciding what follows remain with the competent authority – e.Ray supplies the data basis for it.

For particularly critical measuring points, the water situational picture can be extended with an additional resilience layer.

N-1 is a planning decision. Which components are designed redundantly depends on the hazard, response time, network coverage and criticality of the site.
