Objectives The objective of the CianoAlert project is to develop an intelligent system for real-time monitoring of harmful cyanobacterial bloom forecasts in inland water bodies. General activities The proposed solution is based on the combination of wireless sensor network technology (in-water sensor deployment) with satellite remote sensing and remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), together with information technology (IT) and intelligent user interface.
This state-of-the-art solution will enable the collection of a massive amount of data (BigData) on the density and distribution of cyanobacterial blooms in large areas intended for human consumption and aquaculture. Expected results CianoAlert will generate an accurate, sensitive and user-friendly real-time system to understand the dynamics of cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and reservoirs, leading to improved water management in affected areas.
