Groundwater Monitoring Solution, SK Telecom, South Korea
Together with local authorities, the South Korean government operates groundwater monitoring wells at over 930 sites nationwide.
Each well measures groundwater level, temperature and conductivity daily with groundwater quality measurements taken twice a year. Data collected at wells is transmitted to a remotely located server through a wired or wireless network, with monitoring wells located in remote and mountainous regions usually connected via SK Telecom’s CDMA mobile network. Collected data is used to identify areas with vulnerable groundwater levels and quality. Similar solutions are being used for remote management of Korea’s reservoirs and groundwater tanks.
