Cantilever‑Mounted Radar Water Level Gauge for River Monitoring

This is a field scene of cantilever‑mounted radar water level gauge for river monitoring. The whole system consists of metal pole, solar panel, outdoor waterproof control box and radar sensor extended by cantilever, installed on river bank slope without underwater construction. Adopting non‑contact microwave measurement, the radar sensor keeps away from water and resists interference from aquatic plants, floating debris and sediment. Solar self‑power supply fits remote rivers, ditches and small reservoirs without mains power. Collected water‑level data is wirelessly transmitted to monitoring platform for real‑time observation and flood warning. It supports hydrological reporting, river management and flood dispatching. Easy to install and maintain, the equipment can run stably long‑term in open‑air field conditions.
