Water companies
Turn section 82 monitoring into outcome evidence.
Water companies are installing continuous monitors upstream and downstream of storm overflows and sewage works. The data shows oxygen, turbidity and ammonia, but regulators and the public increasingly ask about ecological outcomes and the pollutants that drive them.
What EcoFlow Predict provides
- Nitrate and other pollutant estimates from the monitors you are already installing
- Downstream forecasts linking overflow and works performance to river outcomes
- Early warning of conditions that precede pollution incidents
- Enterprise API into your operational and reporting systems
Typical outputs: catchment risk maps · event forecasts · outcome evidence packs
Local authorities
Act before a bathing-water or river-quality problem.
Bathing-water and river-quality decisions often rely on laboratory results that arrive days after sampling. By then the moment to warn the public or deploy a team has passed.
What EcoFlow Predict provides
- 24–72 hour risk forecasts for bathing waters, urban rivers and estuaries
- Alerts to environmental health and communications teams
- Plain-language summaries for public information
- Records that support transparent decision-making
Typical outputs: daily risk outlook · alerts · public-information summaries
Rivers trusts and research partners
Evidence between the samples.
Citizen science and spot sampling have transformed what we know about rivers, but samples are snapshots. Funding bids and advocacy need continuous, defensible evidence.
What EcoFlow Predict provides
- Continuous estimates between sampling visits
- Community tier pricing for charities and research partners
- Data partnerships that help validate and improve the models
- Exportable data for reports, funding bids and publications
Typical outputs: continuous estimates · trend reports · data exports
Industrial operators
Know your downstream footprint.
Operators with discharge permits increasingly need to show what happens downstream, not just at the end of the pipe, for regulators, customers and ESG disclosure.
What EcoFlow Predict provides
- Forecasts of how discharges behave in the receiving water
- Early warning when river conditions increase the impact of a discharge
- Audit-ready compliance and ESG reports
- Integration with site monitoring systems
Typical outputs: downstream impact reports · alerts · ESG data
Why now
The regulatory drivers behind continuous monitoring.
| Driver | What it requires |
|---|---|
| Environment Act 2021, section 81 | Storm-overflow discharge information published within one hour. |
| Environment Act 2021, section 82 | Continuous monitoring of dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, turbidity and ammonia upstream and downstream of storm overflows and sewage works: 25% of sites by 2030, all by 2035. |
| Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan | Targets for ecological outcomes near high-priority sites from 2035. |
| Water (Special Measures) Act 2025 | Tougher penalties and pollution-incident reduction plans for water companies. |
| A new vision for water (White Paper, 2026) | A single new water regulator and independent, near-real-time “Open Monitoring”. |
| Water Environment (WFD) Regulations 2017 | Ecological and chemical status objectives for every water body. |
