Welcome to RATES Research!
Real-Time Hydrologic System
RTHS stations are designed to support deployments of environmental sensor suites for long-term deployments with near real-time telemetry web-accessible databases.
As of March 2025, RATES has installed over 60 RATES-designed Real-Time Hydrological Stations (RTHS) throughout the Lower Rio Grande Valley,TX and New York.
Installation and operation of these stations is supported by a variety of programs and assorted local municipalities.
Stations continuously monitor, at minimum, water level and water temperature; where aplicable, rating curves are being developed for converting water level into discharge.
