Autonomous Water Quality Monitoring for Forestry and Wood Processing

8 wavy white

Forestry and wood processing operations require reliable water quality monitoring capabilities. By having more visibility on water, they’re better able to manage runoff from logging operations and timber processing. For companies practicing sustainable forestry practices, KETOS can ensure transparency around water stewardship. And, in managed forest scenarios, KETOS can also help monitor the water used for seamless chemical balancing during chemical applications.

Digital Water Technology Meets Forestry and Logging Best Practices

Protect Watersheds

Use water insights to help protect water quality and simplify water management across logging sites.

Autonomous, Remote Testing

Leverage automated testing (even in remote areas or varying temperatures) for a hands-off approach to water quality monitoring.

Monitor 35+ Parameters

Monitor water quality across dozens of parameters from one device to understand and manage water health and composition.

Promote ESG & Compliance

Use insights to reinforce certification (FSC, SFI) & regulatory compliance in forestry.

Reduce Chemical Overuse

In managed forests, balance chemical application for less waste from accidental overapplication, protecting aquatic ecosystems.

Problem Solving in Real-Time

Timely results allow teams to act proactively and prescriptively, helping to intelligently manage water resources.

Protecting Surface Water in Forestry & Wood Processing with Smart Monitoring

Forestry and logging operations play a vital role in our economy—but they also directly impact surface water quality through soil disturbance, runoff, and chemical use. When not properly managed, these activities can lead to erosion, sedimentation, and contamination of nearby rivers, streams, and wetlands. This ends up affecting ecosystems, aquatic life, and even downstream communities.

KETOS empowers forestry companies to actively safeguard surface water with real-time, automated water quality monitoring. Our intelligent platform delivers actionable insights on 35+ key indicators like turbidity, pH, conductivity, and heavy metals—helping logging operations detect changes in water quality before they become costly environmental issues.

By integrating KETOS technology into field operations, companies can remain compliant with environmental regulations, support sustainable certification goals (FSC, SFI), and take a data-driven approach to protecting critical watershed areas.

Explore our Surface Water Fact Sheet to see how KETOS enables smarter water stewardship—preserving natural resources while supporting responsible forestry practices.
