How Pidpa and iFLUX joined forces for innovation in groundwater management!

The Heart of Innovation: iFLUX’s Real-Time Groundwater Monitoring Network

Combining third-party groundwater sensors with our new flux sensors as the centerpiece of this project, brings a holistic real-time view and unprecedented data accuracy to groundwater monitoring. These advanced measurements provide critical insights into the groundwater dynamics. This technology not only allows for better management of water resources but also helps to safeguard the environment. 

Optimizing water extraction and ensuring water quality

One of the primary goals of this project is to assist Pidpa in optimizing its groundwater extraction processes in Westerlo. With our real-time monitoring network, Pidpa can now follow groundwater movement with greater precision and its interaction with the adjoining Grote Nete river. This allows them to respond more swiftly and effectively to any irregular groundwater movements, ensuring the quality and safety of produced drinking water. 

Balancing nature and necessity

The environmental benefits of this project are equally significant. By also monitoring and analyzing the flow patterns in the nature reserve at the opposite site of the river, Pidpa can adjust its exploitation accordingly to minimize the impact on these valuable ecosystems. This balance between water extraction and environmental conservation is crucial for sustainable management. 

Collaborative efforts for a sustainable future

This initiative is a collaborative effort. Next to experts within Pidpa, involving consultation with local site managers like Natuurpunt and ANB is crucial. Their expertise in managing natural reserves is invaluable, helping us ensure that our activities align with environmental preservation goals and resilient drinking water production.  

A commitment to excellence and sustainability

At iFLUX, we're committed to enhance groundwater resource management while respecting the natural environment. Our partnership with Pidpa exemplifies this commitment, demonstrating how technological innovation can safeguard our complex environmental challenges.
