Main innovation of this project was to integrate a number of observation technologies with numerical models and forecasting system. In the Bhadra pilot case, an online monitoring system was installed by Royal Eijkelkamp to monitor the water levels in the reservoir and the dam failure mechanisms that were identified by iPresas. All measurement stations are equipped with a battery and solar panel for energy supply and a wireless connection for real time data transmission. Over a period of two years, the dam deformation was measured by partner SkyGeo using PS-InSAR satellite technology. All measurements were integrated in Deltares’ Delft-FEWS platform. This platform for forecasting of reservoir inflow was extended with the Dam Analyses Module (DAM) to calculate dam stability in real time. Integration and application of these innovations were successfully realized in the Bhadra pilot case.
