Do you want to set up groundwater monitoring to observe groundwater levels and groundwater quality over the long term and evaluate them reliably? We set up groundwater monitoring networks, support them technically and bring the measurement data together on our platform ENOLA®, from data collection to decision-making. We work throughout Germany for authorities, municipalities, water suppliers and businesses, including in Berlin and Brandenburg.
What is groundwater monitoring?
Groundwater monitoring is the regular measurement and assessment of the groundwater condition. It mainly records groundwater levels and quality parameters at monitoring wells that belong to a groundwater monitoring network or measurement program. The time series show fluctuations, trends and the effects of construction projects, abstraction, drought or heavy rainfall. Typical clients are:
- Authorities: automated plausibility checks, simpler data release, support for EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) reporting
- Water suppliers and water associations: fast reporting and a single, unambiguous data source
- Engineering firms and expert consultants: reporting and direct access to quality-assured data
- Businesses and project owners: project-accompanying monitoring for interventions in the groundwater regime
Our groundwater monitoring services
- Design and setup of monitoring networks: We plan hydrological and hydrogeological measurement networks and set them up with our partner network (monitoring well construction, sensors, remote data transmission).
- Technical support for drilling and measurement campaigns , including the installation of data loggers.
- Monitoring and maintenance of monitoring networks: Since 2026, we have been looking after the groundwater observation networks for the expansion of the Kiel Canal (Kiel lock complex) for the Waterways New Construction Office Kiel-Holtenau (WSV).
- Analysis and reporting: plausibility checks, trend analysis, and statistical and spatio-temporal analyses, summarized in groundwater monitoring reports.
- Modeling: Where the question requires it, we complement monitoring with groundwater flow or rainfall-runoff models.
- Surveying with differential GPS and geodata processing for your monitoring points.
Examples from Berlin and Brandenburg are the web tool PlausiGW for the statewide groundwater monitoring network of Berlin (Berlin Senate Department MVKU) and the report on groundwater monitoring at the Brandenburg-Briest wastewater treatment plant (BRAWAG GmbH). You will find further projects under References.
The full range of services is described under Consulting.
Groundwater monitoring with ENOLA®
ENOLA® is the monitoring platform we developed for integrated and cooperative groundwater management. The condition of the groundwater and the groundwater monitoring network are monitored and managed from data collection to evaluation. This includes:
- Plausibility checks, trend analysis, and statistical and spatio-temporal analyses on one platform. With ENOLA®, the time needed for data checking and analysis drops by up to 90%.
- Monitoring wells that can be combined into any measurement programs or monitoring networks
- Integration of external data, such as hourly weather data from the German Weather Service (DWD)
- Collaboration with differentiated user rights: everyone works with the same data instead of copies
- GDPR-compliant data hosting on a server in Germany, in a data center certified to ISO/IEC 27001, plus two-factor authentication and automatic backups

How we work on groundwater monitoring
- Initial consultation: We clarify your objectives, existing monitoring points, available data, and the effort involved.
- Data basis: We review existing data and supplement it with measurements and data loggers where needed.
- Platform: The measurement data come together in ENOLA® and are checked automatically.
- Analysis: We evaluate the time series and summarize the results in a report.
- Continuation: Measurement data can be continued in ENOLA® over the long term.
A hydrogeological assessment describes and assesses the situation at the site, while groundwater monitoring supplies the data for it and continues it afterwards. The effects of measures for the landscape water balance can also be demonstrated in this way, see Water Retention Planning.
Public groundwater levels in Berlin can be found in the Berlin water portal.

Frequently asked questions
What does groundwater monitoring include?
Typically a network of monitoring wells, the recording of groundwater levels and, where applicable, quality parameters, data checks, and regular analysis. Which parameters and measurement intervals make sense depends on the question and on regulatory requirements.
How are groundwater levels measured?
Groundwater levels are measured at monitoring wells, either manually or with data loggers. We support measurement campaigns technically and install data loggers. The values then come together in ENOLA®, where they are checked.
When does a project need groundwater monitoring?
Whether and to what extent observation is needed depends on the project and the requirements of the competent water authority, for example for excavation pits or dewatering. If you are unsure, we will clarify it in a conversation, free of charge and without obligation.
Can existing monitoring networks and data be imported into ENOLA®?
We first review your existing data. Whether and in what format it can be imported into ENOLA® is clarified in the initial consultation. The open API is also available for your own analyses.
What is the difference between groundwater monitoring and a hydrogeological assessment?
Monitoring observes groundwater conditions continuously. An assessment evaluates them for a specific question, for example for a water-law decision. The two complement each other, and we offer both from a single source.
Can I try ENOLA® beforehand?
Yes. We offer a free live demo and a free 14-day trial access.
