Hydrometric Monitoring Programs
Aquora specializes in developing and operating hydrometric monitoring programs that deliver reliable, defensible information on water levels, discharge, and seasonal flow conditions. Programs incorporate continuous monitoring and field measurements across the full range of flow regimes, combining traditional metering approaches with modern techniques such as ADCP and salt-dilution measurements to ensure accurate discharge characterization under all conditions. Stations are engineered to perform in challenging environments and supported by benchmark control, robust telemetry, and disciplined QA/QC practices to ensure continuity, accuracy, and confidence in every dataset. Monitoring data can be delivered through secure client dashboards and portals, providing clear visibility into station performance, trends, and real-time conditions where required.
Indigenous and Community Monitoring Partnerships
Aquora collaborates with Indigenous communities and local organizations to co-develop monitoring programs that integrate technical hydrology with local knowledge, stewardship priorities, and data sovereignty principles. Partnerships are structured to support meaningful participation in program design, field operations, and data interpretation, ensuring monitoring reflects community values and information needs. Aquora can also assist with the identification of funding opportunities and the preparation of grant or proposal materials in support of community-led monitoring initiatives. Emphasis is placed on capacity building through long-term training, mentorship, and knowledge transfer, alongside the development of community-held data systems that support self-determined monitoring, reporting, and environmental governance over time.
Water Quality Monitoring
We provide comprehensive water-quality monitoring programs that support operational decision-making, environmental assessment, and licence or permit requirements through accurate, defensible measurements. Services include in-situ profiling, spot measurements, and automated multi-parameter systems capable of tracking dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, pH, and other key indicators. Programs are designed for reliable field performance and are supported by routine calibration, verification, fouling control, and disciplined QA/QC procedures to ensure data quality and confidence. Data can be integrated with hydrometric or meteorological monitoring programs to provide a coherent, site-specific understanding of water conditions, trends, and key water-quality drivers where dependable information is required.
Operational Compliance Support
Aquora supports clients in meeting water-licence and permit requirements by providing monitoring programs, data reviews, and regulatory documentation that are both technically defensible and operationally practical. Services include compliance assessments, operating-window evaluations, annual and event-based reporting, and independent technical reviews of stage, discharge, meteorological, and water-quality datasets. Work is grounded in clear analytical methods, traceable records, and transparent QA/QC procedures that align with regulatory expectations. By combining regulatory awareness with practical field and data experience, Aquora helps clients maximize allowable operating windows, reduce compliance risk, and demonstrate licence adherence with confidence.
Meteorological Monitoring
Aquora develops and operates meteorological monitoring programs that deliver reliable, defensible data to support operational planning, regulatory compliance, and environmental assessment. Programs include continuous measurement of precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and other key meteorological variables across a range of site conditions. Stations are designed for deployment in remote and harsh environments and are supported by robust telemetry, routine maintenance, and disciplined QA/QC practices to ensure data continuity and confidence. Where required, meteorological data can be integrated with hydrometric and water-quality monitoring programs to support interpretation of site conditions, seasonal patterns, and key environmental drivers.
Hydrological Assessments
Aquora conducts hydrological assessments that evaluate watershed behaviour, flow regimes, and water availability to support operational decision-making, permit applications, and long-term planning. Assessments integrate hydrometric records, meteorological inputs, watershed characteristics, and site-specific conditions to characterize seasonal variability, extreme events, and hydrologic risk. Analyses are grounded in defensible methods and transparent assumptions to ensure results are traceable and appropriate for regulatory review. These outputs support sustainable water-use planning, inform operating strategies, and help clients demonstrate responsible water management across a wide range of hydrologic conditions.
