SynaptiX LID

Smart floodplain harvesting management solutions for NSW landholders

Stay compliant, improve efficiency and manage water resources with real-time floodplain monitoring, automated reporting and local support.

SynaptiX LID is locally designed, manufactured and supported right here in NSW. Developed specifically to meet the requirements of floodplain harvesting measurement and NSW regulators, SynaptiX LID helps landholders stay compliant with the NSW Floodplain Harvesting Measurement Policy.

Why landholders need a floodplain harvesting measurement system

Floodplain harvesting refers to the collection of water from floodplains during rainfall events. Under the NSW Floodplain Harvesting Measurement Policy 2020, landholders who receive a floodplain harvesting access licence are legally required to measure water taken from the floodplain. This means:

  • You must have an approved storage measurement system installed and certified by a Duly Qualified Person (DQP) before any floodplain water can be taken.
  • You have 12 months from the commencement of your water sharing plan to install primary metering equipment.
  • If you wish to harvest floodplain water during this period, you must install at least a secondary metering device, such as a validated gauge board or electronic storage measurement system.

SynaptiX LID ensures you meet these legal obligations with confidence.

The Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) maintains a list of approved storage measurement hardware and DQPs, available on their website. https://www.industry.nsw.gov.au/water/licensing-trade/floodplain-harvesting

Novecom’s role in floodplain harvesting compliance

Novecom has been an active participant in the development of approved storage measurement systems. We’ve worked closely with DPE, WaterNSW and NRAR to develop a compliant Local Intelligence Device (LID) for both primary and secondary measurement systems.

Our SynaptiX LID is:

  • Approved for use in NSW
  • Designed and manufactured locally
  • Supported by a NSW-based team
  • Compatible with approved SDI-12 storage meters
  • Plug-and-play, solar-powered, and pre-configured- ready to connect and activate onsite with minimal setup

When paired with an approved storage meter, SynaptiX LID forms a complete measurement and reporting system. It must be installed by a DQP and registered with the DPE.

Trusted by landholders and Duly Qualified Installers across NSW
