1. A rainwater drainage network monitoring system, comprising:
a sensing module for detecting a blockage at a location in the rainwater drainage network;
a processing module for processing data received from the sensing module; and
a wireless communications module for communicating the processed data in real-time to one or more wireless devices including a wireless notification device and to a remote cloud network configured to issue notification information to users;
wherein the wireless communications module utilizes a narrow bandwidth, low power wireless communications protocol to communicate processed data to the wireless notification device and to the remote cloud network, and wherein the rainwater drainage network monitoring system has no mains power supply but has a standalone power supply whereby all of the modules of the system are powered by the standalone power supply.
