Adroit to Attend Stormwater Conference with Focus on Real-Time Flood Monitoring

Stormwater is front of mind for most councils and infrastructure operators. Frequent heavy rainfall events, combined with ongoing urban development and pressure on existing networks, are making it harder to manage flows and respond effectively during peak conditions.

Flooding is no longer an isolated problem. It is becoming a constant operational risk that requires better visibility and faster decision-making. That increased frequency is reflected in IAG’s Wild Weather Tracker, which shows that storms have been occurring (on average) every eight days across New Zealand so far this year - effectively making severe weather a near-weekly event.

This shift is driving a move toward real-time monitoring. Systems that deliver continuous, reliable data allow councils, infrastructure operators and first responders to make rapid, informed decisions. Increasingly, public-facing dashboards are also giving communities access to live information, supporting more informed, risk-based decisions at a local level.

Over the past year, Adroit has continued to develop leading-edge stormwater and flood monitoring capability, with a focus on providing reliable, continuous data from the field. Adroit’s recent deployment of flood level monitoring in Hastings is a case study where systems provide early indication of rising water levels and support faster response during storm events.

At the conference, the Adroit team will be on site demonstrating new developments in sensors and telemetry, and discussing how different monitoring solutions can be applied across a multitude of complex environments. The focus will be on practical deployment, system resilience, and how real-time data supports both day-to-day operations and long-term planning.

Those attending are invited to visit the Adroit stand (Stand 49) to meet the team and discuss how similar approaches could be applied in your network.
