How much water can our brand new #ARCboatlite #ADCP #DroneBoat measure? No problem with 110 tonnes a second on the Thames! (A few days ago, flow has dropped since then...!)

Thames Path National Trail Boat is used to accurately monitor how much water is flowing down our rivers. To calibrate our flow gauging stations; vital for managing floods, droughts and everything in between. Tech developed by HR Wallingford with Environment Agency

These #ARCboatlite gauging videos seem popular, so here's another. But with a twist.... Which #ADCPNerd can spot my deliberate mistake while testing a new #ADCP today? These innovative tools transform efficiency & safety for our vital #Hydrometry river monitoring.

With big brother #ARCBoat already out, time to see what #ARCboatlite can cope with.... Excellent performance on Thames, Wey & Jubilee rivers. R Wey at Guildford here, 33 tonnes water per second. 163 in Thames at Reading ... Looks fun. Is fun. Is also VITAL flood information.

Water as far as the eye can see on the River Trent at North Muskham. First time we have ever measured the entire floodplain flow with the HR Wallingford Arc Boat. Environment Agency Midlands River peaked just 0.25 m below the November 2000 Record.

Fantastic performance from our new #ARCboatlite in perhaps the most challenging conditions so far...! 58 tonnes a second on R Teme, water speed almost 2m/sec. A brand new #ADCP on board too....! More, better river info to manage floods, droughts & everything in between.

George Woolhouse's new piece for #WorldEnvironmentDay2020 looks at how small island nations can create climate resilience in their water supplies. He explores small island issues, explains a recent initiative, and expounds the benefits to other nations. bit.ly/Smallislands

Our #ARCboat is supporting leading-edge research into autonomous fish tracking technology. Zac Nash of Bangor University has trialled new sensor arrangements in north Wales to help better understand fish migration routes and movement patterns. KESS 2 @BangorSEE

Our #ARCboat has been used by Zac in his research into autonomous fish tracking technology. Zac is speaking at the Marine Autonomy & Technology Showcase 2020 on 10-12 November. The programme is at bit.ly/MATS20_prog

Great talk from Zac Nash from Bangor University on the use of our Orca recorders on the HR Wallingford ARCboat system. Using multiple hydrophones to track and followed acoustically tagged fish species. #MATS2020 #TrackingNotSlacking Innovasea

A camera-equipped ARCboat has been out on the River Neckar in Germany taking river gauging and discharge measurements. We recently supplied the remote-controlled vessel to WSA Neckar, which oversees the waterway. ARCboat info: bit.ly/ARCboats

Our Emma Brown has appeared on BBC Midlands Today talking about #flood defences and #climate change. Our ARCboat also featured, along with shots of the Froude Modelling Hall. The BBC Midlands programme will be on BBC iPlayer until 7pm today: bit.ly/EmmaBBC

The ARCboat Lite was in action in Avonmouth Docks last week. Our portable survey vessel acquired high-resolution bathymetric data while conducting a vessel demonstration for EDF. Surveyors operated the remote-controlled vessel while staying safely onshore.

How can we understand the impact of offshore developments on marine life? Zac Nash of Bangor University is using our #ARCboat to autonomously track marine life to understand their movements in a collaboration with KESS 2 and Welsh European Funding Office. Long read: bit.ly/ARCboat

#ARCboatlite #ADCP boat's eye view of Henley Royal Regatta course in all its glory. Looking great for this week's Women's Regatta. (No, we didn't map water speeds, just a demo for Science and Technology Facilities Council!) HR Wallingford

Two days with informative lectures, interactive workshops, a visit to the Ship Simulation Centre and the autonomous survey vessel work of HR Wallingford. But also timely and practical discussions for the future of our industry.
