A scroll-controlled sequence follows the river from the air down to a floating Amazon Hydro Sense monitoring station, its solar-powered electronics and its underwater sensors.
Environmental monitoring in the field
Invisible contamination, detected in minutes.
Sensor stations monitor Amazonian rivers continuously. Our intelligence layer transforms environmental measurements into early warnings.
Continuous river monitoring
The river changes before the warning arrives.
Continuous measurements reveal variations that isolated manual samples can miss.
Amazon Hydro Sense
A connected monitoring station on the water.
The buoy collects environmental measurements continuously in remote river environments.
From the river to the platform
The hardware collects. The platform interprets.
The station is the physical connection between the river and Amazon Hydro Sense environmental intelligence.
A self-sufficient field station
Built for continuous operation.
Solar power, sealed electronics, remote communication and protected sensing operate as one connected system.
Water-quality sensing
Each parameter reveals part of the river's condition.
The sensor cage stays submerged year-round, logging continuously through every season with no manual sampling.
AI-assisted analysis
The value is not only in the measurement.
Amazon Hydro Sense identifies anomalies, compares patterns against the river's baseline and turns measurements into actionable information.

From water to data. From data to decision.

Heavy metals don't change the color of the water.
The most dangerous contamination is invisible from the riverbank. By the time a sample reaches the lab, the plume has moved downstream.
Invisible to the naked eye
Dissolved mercury, lead and arsenic leave no trace in the water's color or smell.
Weeks until a lab result
Manual sampling, transport and analysis add up to weeks between event and response.
No continuous record
Sparse measurements can't prove when contamination started, or where it came from.
From buoy to report
Hardware in the field, continuous transmission, automated analysis. No step depends on manual sampling.
A Hydro Sense station anchored on the river.
Buoys in the field
Units anchored upstream and downstream of the mining operations, solar powered, transmitting via satellite.
Continuous measurement
Turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH and heavy metals, sampled around the clock, wet season and dry.
AI analysis
Models trained on the river's baseline tell a heavy rainfall apart from a tailings discharge.
Report and alert
Anomalies trigger an immediate alert. Compliance reports come out ready for the regulator and the stakeholder dashboard.
Where Hydro Sense operates
Northern Brazil, deep in the Amazon rainforest. The first units cover the Itacaiúnas river basin, which drains the Serra dos Carajás region in the state of Pará and supplies communities downstream of the Salobo and Paulo Afonso mining operations.

Who uses Hydro Sense
The same data, three readings: compliance, oversight, transparency.
Mining operators
Continuous evidence of compliance for licensing, ESG reporting and the environmental due diligence required by the EU's CSDDD.
Regulators
Oversight built on a continuous, logged time series instead of sparse samples.
River communities
Access to the state of the water that supplies, feeds and crosses their territory, without waiting for a third-party report.
Questions we hear first
What compliance teams, regulators and operators ask before a first call.
No. Continuous monitoring flags when and where a sample is worth taking, so lab testing gets used efficiently instead of on a fixed schedule. Lab results remain the reference standard for regulatory submissions.
Each unit transmits via satellite, so coverage does not depend on cellular networks reaching the basin.
An alert goes out to the operator and any configured regulator or community contact, instead of waiting for the next scheduled sample to catch it.
Amazon Hydro Sense is available for pilot deployment with mining operators and regulators. Get in touch to discuss timelines for your river basin.
Yes. The enclosure is sealed and watertight, and the unit is solar-powered with battery backup, built to keep logging through heavy rain and long overcast stretches.
The operator who deploys the unit. Access for regulators or community contacts is configured per deployment, not shared by default.
