Weather Station in Piedralaves: INDEPRO Strengthens Monitoring and Risk Prevention
The new weather station in Piedralaves will improve rainfall monitoring and strengthen the municipality’s meteorological monitoring capabilities. INDEPRO has installed the station in collaboration with Piedralaves Town Council (Ávila, Spain), introducing technological solutions that contribute to risk prevention.
The station is located at the municipality’s Drinking Water Treatment Plant (ETAP). It is also integrated with TARANIS, the early warning platform developed by INDEPRO.
Weather Station Monitoring in Piedralaves
The new installation records various meteorological parameters in real time, with particular attention to accumulated rainfall and rainfall intensity.
These measurements enable continuous monitoring of rainfall events. Furthermore, the data help identify potential exceedances of reference thresholds based on criteria established by the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
As a result, the Town Council has access to local meteorological information that can support the assessment of situations requiring closer monitoring.
Integration with TARANIS and Automated Notifications
The weather station is connected to TARANIS, INDEPRO’s early warning platform for hydrometeorological monitoring and preventive risk management.
Through this technology, Piedralaves Town Council will receive automated email notifications whenever recorded rainfall exceeds the configured thresholds.
The system therefore helps identify heavy rainfall events that may require increased vigilance. In addition, it provides up-to-date information to support decision-making and the implementation of preventive measures.
Collaboration to Improve Preventive Risk Management
The installation of this weather station reflects the collaboration between INDEPRO and Piedralaves Town Council to incorporate technological solutions into local meteorological monitoring.
This initiative improves the availability of local data, strengthens the monitoring of intense rainfall events and supports progress towards data-driven risk management using early warning tools.
INDEPRO remains committed to applying engineering, digitalisation and technological innovation to improve risk prevention and management across the territory.
