You have an idea that’s never been done before. This is where Convergent Water Technologies and it’s smartPOND line of products come in. Our adaptability to the needs of your project make us unique in that we can help you solve these challenges without you having to start from scratch. We build a line of robust hardware for stormwater management that’s designed for rugged environments. It’s Programmable Logic Controller and Cloud Based Dashboard puts stormwater management at your fingertips, often only requiring changes in sensors or programmed logic.
Creative Design Prevents Downstream Flooding and Yields Increase Revenue for Developer using SmartPOND
In collaboration with Cude Engineers, the created a custom application that would place a pressure transducer in the creek that would read the creeks water surface elevation. When the water surface elevation was at a level deemed safe, the SmartPOND rotary weir was to be in the open position. When the creek rose due to……CONTINUE READING
Smart Solutions After the Storm: How Harris County Transformed Flood Control with smartPOND
After Hurricane Harvey caused catastrophic flooding in Harris County, officials sought smarter ways to manage stormwater. By partnering with Convergent Water Technologies and installing the programmable smartPOND Rotary Weir, they were able to capture, store, and slowly release stormwater to maximize infiltration and reduce……CONTINUE READING
Like what you see, but you don’t see exactly what you need? Reach out to the Convergent Water technologies team to talk custom solutions. The SmartPOND platform was built to be customized because we know that no watershed is the same. From a custom Programmable Logic Controller, to a sensor bay designed for up to 6 different sensors, the possibilities are endless.
Every SmartPOND installation includes remote monitoring and maintenance for the first year for free to ensure performance, with affordable maintenance and monitoring packages for long-term reliability.
smartPOND is an adaptive, automated stormwater management system designed to optimize detention, infiltration, and drainage. It uses sensors, real-time data monitoring, and remote control capabilities to improve water quality and reduce maintenance while ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
Yes, smartPOND is designed to meet evolving stormwater regulations, including batch detention requirements per the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Edwards Aquifer Protection Plan (EAPP). It also adapts to new pollutant standards, making compliance easier.
smartPOND offers three automated stormwater control solutions:
Automated Valves: 6–12” butterfly valves with full connectivity and sensor spools.
Automated Weirs: 24” x 24” rotary weirs for surface release and water elevation control.
Automated Gates: 36” x 16” slide gates for bottom release and flow regulation.
smartPOND reduces detention pond sizes, cutting land development costs. It eliminates the need for frequent media replacements and minimizes manual inspections, lowering long-term operational expenses. Its automation ensures optimized water management, improving efficiency while reducing labor costs.
Unlike traditional fixed stormwater controls, smartPOND is fully programmable and can adjust to changing regulations for pollutants like phosphorus, nitrogen, and metals. It also offers automation, remote monitoring, and real-time maintenance alerts, reducing manual inspections and operational costs.
smartPOND is ideal for batch detention for water quality, real-time optimization for smaller detention ponds, and predictive weather management. It can be used in retention, detention, and rainwater harvesting systems.
smartPOND features a plug-and-play design, making installation simple and requiring no complex wiring. It has modular components that can be easily replaced, and routine inspections can be monitored remotely via an onboard camera. Automated alerts notify users about upcoming maintenance needs.
smartPOND provides superior water quality control with a 91% Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal rate, reduces detention volume by up to 50%, minimizes maintenance, and allows for real-time optimization. It also helps developers save space and costs by decreasing the required detention pond size.
smartPOND achieves a 91% TSS removal rate, a 32% Total Nitrogen (TN) removal rate, and a 57% Total Phosphorus (TP) removal rate. By automating detention and infiltration, it enhances pollutant removal without
Yes, smartPOND offers real-time remote monitoring and control. Users can track water levels, gate positions, temperatures, and maintenance records through an online dashboard. Alerts are sent via email or smartphone to notify operators of system updates.
