Live · presentation mode
Measurement data in motion.
This is how the new Sensormanager presents your monitoring network in presentation mode: groundwater contours in time-lapse, the radar gauge during flood and drought, the reservoir in cross-section, the control room view, and climate and water quality as tiles. The show runs by itself – as soon as you touch a control, you take over.
Browser demo with simulated time series – no customer data, no official values. Flow directions are shown schematically. In Sensormanager the same views are calculated from your real monitoring stations.
Three areas. One connected workflow.
From day-to-day operations and specialist analysis to documentation, Sensormanager brings the tasks around your monitoring network together.
Your network in view. In the office and in the field.
Dashboard, status monitor, map, maintenance and alarms lead from an overview to the task at hand. Time series reveal temporal relationships, while mobile maintenance supports field work.
Select a view to explore the operation of your monitoring network.
Compare time series of different variables to reveal temporal relationships between rainfall, water levels and other measurements.

02 · Specialist modules
The right perspective for your monitoring task.
Ten specialist modules complement operations – from groundwater contour maps to abstraction balances. Choose a module to see what it calculates, which parameters it needs and which TerraTransfer equipment fits.
Contour map for a reference date
Groundwater
Individual monitoring wells become a spatial picture: groundwater contours for a reference date, difference maps between two dates and depth to water from the terrain model. Flow direction and gradient are derived from the interpolated surface.
What the module does
Contour map using IDW, thin-plate spline or kriging (including terrain drift), with uncertainty display
Difference maps for drawdown, wells with cones of depression, rivers as fixed-head boundaries
Trends over 30 and 90 days (Theil–Sen, Mann–Kendall), key statistics per DIN 4049, SGI
Export as PDF map, CSV, GeoJSON and shapefile (ETRS89/UTM 32N); manual dip-meter readings via import
The module takes you from the permit to the annual declaration: assign abstraction points, set up monitoring and keep track of the permitted volumes at all times – with a projection to the end of the year.
What the module does
Step by step: record permit → assign abstraction points → monitoring → annual declaration
Annual, daily and hourly limits with levels within limits, watch (from 80 %) and critical (from 95 %)
Projection from the 30-day mean and permitted volume per day until year end
Ancillary conditions such as a minimum groundwater level at a monitoring well; advance warning before the permit expires
Water level becomes discharge: rating curves with versions and validity periods, discharge measurements for comparison and a low-flow overview with flow duration curve and drought context.
What the module does
Rating curve as power, log or linear relation, limited extrapolation with flag
Discharge measurements with deviation from the curve and a proposal for a new rating
Low-flow statistics NQ, MNQ, NM7Q, MNM7Q (DIN 4049-3) and Q95
Classes low, very low, extremely low; context from SPI-3 and groundwater (SGI)
Required parameters
Water level with rating curveor discharge measurement
The flood overview brings together all gauges in a catchment: alert level, trend and data age at a glance, plus a 48-hour forecast with uncertainty band and the time until the next level.
What the module does
Alert levels 1–3 with hold time and hysteresis on the way down; alarm rules per level created automatically
Forecast from the rainfall–runoff core, forecast rainfall classified with KOSTRA
Radar nowcast, event log and time travel with hindcast for quality checks
Retention basins with fill level and time to full
Required parameters
Water level (radar or pressure probe)Catchment rainfall or forecastoptional basin level
A conceptual rainfall–runoff model runs alongside your gauge every hour and calibrates itself in the background. The result is a 48-hour forecast with uncertainty band – including a quality record.
What the module does
Measured vs. modelled hydrograph, 48 h forecast with band and time to the alert level
Automatic calibration with split sample; NSE, KGE, RMSE, PBIAS
Scenarios: dry, stress test or real weather forecast; KOSTRA classification of forecast rainfall
HBV/GR4J-class model with antecedent precipitation index, Nash cascade and snow module
Required parameters
Water level at the gaugeRainfalloptional temperature, evaporation, soil moisture
Storage, flood retention and release in context: the overview shows water level, storage, fill level, inflow and release, and derives the retention readiness with a release stage.
What the module does
Storage balance from inflow, release, spillway (Poleni), evaporation and lake precipitation
48 h forecast with adjustable planned release and rainfall scenario, time to full supply
Seasonal target level, storage curve, ice cover from the thermistor chain
Release log with justification; reservoir cross-section in presentation mode
Required parameters

Classify heavy rain in space and time: every rain gauge is assessed over eleven durations using KOSTRA-DWD-2020, and events can be replayed as a map animation – complemented by a radar nowcast.
What the module does
Classification by return period (KOSTRA-DWD-2020) from 5 minutes to 72 hours
Heavy rain index SRI 1–12 per DWA-M 119, nowcast warning levels 15 / 25 / 40 mm/h
RADOLAN radar with about 2 h of observations and 2 h nowcast, rain field from the network
List of the strongest events, heavy-rain hazard map as a map layer
KOSTRA is available for sites in Germany; hazard areas are not official.
Temperature and oxygen over depth

Short series describe the weather; climate statements need at least 30 years.
Preview of the current development stage. Available analyses depend on measurement data, configuration and activation of the relevant module. Forecasts and assessments support decisions; they are not official warnings or expert reports.
Groundwater
Groundwater contours reveal the gradient.
Individual monitoring points become a spatial picture: groundwater contours connect points of equal hydraulic head on a selected date. Flow arrows illustrate the gradient derived from the interpolated surface.
Select the reference date and aquifer
Review the monitoring points and interpolation method used
Export the contour map as a PDF and geodata for further analysis
The map interpolates between monitoring points. Its reliability depends on factors including station density, elevation reference and hydrogeological conditions.
