Lake life
​just got better with Lakescout™

Picture

Monitor a lake from anywhere, anytime.

Retrieving timely and accurate lake water measurements is important when you're managing a lake. But gathering lake elevation and water temperature data is time-consuming. And until now it’s only been possible to gather data during the warmer months when the lake wasn’t frozen, leaving gaps in your data during the winter and early spring – a time when lakes are subject to higher elevations. But with LAKESCOUT, you can monitor a lake remotely and easily gather critical data in every season. 

How can LAKESCOUT™ be used?

In the shorter term, LAKESCOUT can help water management organizations and personnel:
  • Set and release no-wake restrictions
  • Manage the application of invasive species treatments
  • Assist in shoreline planning
  • Contribute to accurate watershed-level hydrologic models
  • Help determine flood warnings
  • Plan for drought conditions
Over the long term, accurate data gathered with LAKESCOUT can be used to:
  • Determine water level trends
  • Manage navigation buoy placement
  • Create long-term watershed-level hydrologic models
  • Aid in near-shore building permitting
  • Support flood-plain planning
  • Facilitate water quality modeling

​​LAKESCOUT is easy to install and capable of year-round operation in the harshest of conditions.

How LAKESCOUT™ works

1

Attach an anchor to the bottom of the LAKESCOUT monitor, drop it in the water, and turn on the power switch. 

2

Once LAKESCOUT begins taking measurements, data is displayed locally on the device and also transmitted wirelessly to an online portal. 

3

View the data anywhere and anytime you have an internet connection by logging into the portal.​ Access to the data can easily be shared with your team.​

LAKESCOUT is highly reflective, easily visible, and rechargeable!
