When the COVID 19 outbreak prevented us from offering on-site training between April and June, we created a comprehensive and versatile live webinar program as an alternative. Topics included flood warning, discharge measurement, water level monitoring, data logging, network management, and data transmission solutions. These webinars are now available as on-demand versions.
