How can we build a durable Smart Watch for an aquatic ecosystem? Something that can monitor the health of a river, lake, wetland, reservoir or fjord ecosystem in real-time and also follow long-term trajectories. So that you will know if the water quality trend is improving or deteriorating. This is something we have discussed for years at WaterITech and also while doing research at Aarhus University. Well, we now have a solution for this – or at least all the building blocks for the solution, which temporarily is taking up space in our meeting room as you can see on the picture. For more than a decade, we have tested and used some of the most advanced water quality sensors available to monitor the state of the water environment – often based on expensive sensors, which typically require a lot of servicing, regular maintenance and recalibrations. Real-time water quality monitoring can therefore be a costly affair. To enable a much more widespread use of real-time water quality sensing, WaterITech and WaterWebTools have joined forces to build a low cost and low maintenance monitoring system, which combines some of the most durable water quality sensors with advanced AI-based data processing. It is well documented how metabolism, including gross primary production and ecosystem respiration, can be derived from high-frequency oxygen measurements based on advanced data processing and modelling. These metabolism parameters are strongly linked to traditional water quality parameters, such as algae and nutrient levels. We are currently making this scientific insight operational through a seamless integration of our customizable data buoy and a new Metabolism app in the WaterWebTools Platform. The first monitoring systems are already sold and currently being assembled, and will be delivered for installation in two lakes in Denmark in March. Stay tuned for launch. More are already in the pipeline. If you are interested in more details about the data buoy and concept, and how you can get your hands on one, please check out our website https://lnkd.in/dYyeWwBR.

🌊 We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Sand Technologies, our Impact Sponsor for British Water’s second Annual Conference. Their support is key not only to the success of this event, but also in promoting meaningful industry change through the use of data intelligence and AI. 🌱 This year's conference focuses on achieving better river water quality, nutrient reduction, and an ambitious storm overflow programme. It will also recognise the need to invest in other areas, including bioresources, by gathering regulators, water companies, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and academia together to share best practices and practical solutions. 🔗Learn more about our Annual Conference here: https://lnkd.in/e4N6CDWg 🔗Register here: https://lnkd.in/exZYPpBJ #EnvironmentalSustainability #Innovation #WaterAndWastewater

🌿 Advanced Monitoring with Algae Online Sensors 💧 Algae online sensors are transforming water quality management with cutting-edge fluorometric technology. By emitting light to excite chlorophyll in algae, these sensors measure the resulting fluorescence to accurately detect and quantify algae levels in real time. Key Benefits: Early Detection: Rapid identification of algal blooms allows for timely interventions. Continuous Monitoring: Ensures 24/7 surveillance of water conditions. High Precision: Fluorometric detection provides exact data, enabling precise monitoring and analysis. Cost Efficiency: Prevents extensive blooms and reduces cleanup costs. This technology not only supports environmental health but also empowers communities with data to sustainably manage aquatic ecosystems. #WaterQuality #AlgaeControl #EnvironmentalTech #SustainableManagement

We often talk about practical and affordable technology, but what does that mean? 💲 Affordable means our floating array of sensors (which are verified externally to measure to the same specifications as an aquatroll, or exosonde) starts at $6,900 in NZ, £3,980 in the UK, and €4,890 in Europe. Practical means our sensor deployments are cable-free, come with built-in telemetry, and are fully battery-powered. There’s no need for expertise or infrastructure—just drop and go. 💲 Affordable means our digital twin systems start at $20,000 in NZ, £13,160 in the UK, and €15,680 in Europe. Practical means using the data you already have, combined with real-time readings and GIS layers that you already have, to pinpoint the cause of your problems, deliver solutions, and tell the story of your remediation’s impact—all quickly and effectively. Water tech should simplify data collection and analysis, cut costs, and drive better environmental outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gRQB6vRD Feel free to get in touch through the link above or directly with Eoin Conroy and the relationship team at enquiries@aquawatchsolutions.com for more details.
