NATIONAL consultants Hydro-Logic, whose head office is in Bromyard, has been appointed by Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) to service and maintain its hydrometric network.

It is a six-year contract worth more than £1 million and is the second time that Hydro-Logic has successfully tendered for it.

The network of recording stations provides information on compensation flows and river flow as well as reservoir and borehole levels. Data checks are performed daily on Hydro-Logic's FEP6 and Timeview systems that enable prompt identification of compliance issues or measurement problems. All sites are visited on a monthly basis by Hydro-Logic staff for routine maintenance.

Raw data is transferred to DCWW on a daily basis and the data is used for operational management and as part of water resource investigations.
