Groundwater: A resource worth protecting
Groundwater constitutes just 0.65% of Earth's water, yet it's our main source of freshwater, with 99% of the planet's liquid freshwater hidden underground. It’s a finite and invaluable resource, which is under systematic pressure from several factors:

Groundwater: A resource worth protecting
Groundwater constitutes just 0.65% of Earth's water, yet it's our main source of freshwater, with 99% of the planet's liquid freshwater hidden underground. It’s a finite and invaluable resource, which is under systematic pressure from several factors:
Unpredictability of groundwater
Our groundwater resources are facing relentless stress, leading to their unpredictable nature and rendering conventional measurement techniques outdated.
Climate Change
Climate change is intensifying dry periods, preventing adequate groundwater recharge during wet periods.
Rising Sea Level
Rising sea levels are pushing saltwater further inland underground, posing challenges for coastal farmers and freshwater supplies.
Contamination
Contamination has rendered many accessible groundwater reserves unsuitable for consumption.
Growing Usage
Increasing industrial use and population growth continue to drive up the demand for groundwater.
How does it work?
iFLUX Sensing Solutions integrates a variety of sensors with its exclusive Vertical and/or Horizontal flux sensors, uniquely measuring groundwater flow's speed and direction (flux) in real-time, providing real, evidence-based insights into groundwater behavior.
Real-time Groundwater Monitoring Network
iFLUX installs monitoring networks that measure the movement of groundwater systems in real-time using telemetrically connected sensors. They combine various commercially available sensors with their unique and patented Vertical and Horizontal flux sensors, which are the world's only sensors capable of real-time measurement of both the speed and direction (flux) of groundwater flow, both horizontally and vertically.
Our networks deliver real-time insights for the optimization of your groundwater-related activities. From on-site installation to comprehensive dashboarding for actionable insights, iFLUX takes full responsibility for your digital groundwater network's implementation.
Get "Eureka" insights
Combine your preferred telemetrically connected sensors with iFLUX real-time flux sensors.
iFLUX's dashboard provides data-driven insights into the full picture of your water system, and the factors that influence its dynamics.
Our dashboard includes publicly available data (ie: weather, tidal movements), client-specific process data (ie: pumping speeds, infiltration volumes), site-specific characterizations (ie: ground composition) and integrates the sensors that will give you the data you need to better manage your system.

How iFLUX enables Dunea to optimize their groundwater management
Unique patented technology
Current monitoring relies on water levels and snap shot concentrations while flow and pollution fluxes are the missing link, responsible for the highest uncertainties in modelling predictions and future scenarios. That is why iFLUX developed their own patented technologies for measuring groundwater fluxes.
Our flux sensor technology is the newly developed groundwater sensing probe which monitors in low-flow conditions. The data from this sensor is then combined with water level data, infiltration rates and/or pollution measurements to give valuable insights to customers. The ability to detect in real-time groundwater fluxes in a range of 1-500 cm/day to depths of +50m, multidirectional, makes it unique in the market.
Drinking Water
Future-proof groundwater management for optimal water quality.
Water utilities that implement monitoring networks to digitalize their most important capacity buffer – groundwater - benefits from precise real-time data and insights into their groundwater systems. This leads to:
- Vastly increased catchment area security
- Safe volume growth and improved quality through beter understanding of retention times
- Operational cost reductions
- Real-time date for optimal calibration of groundwater models.
