1 Water quality monitoring service based ON space asset provided Data, crowd sourcing, Environmental modelling and Reporting ESA - Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) Programme

2 2 Background Globally e.g. in mining, energy, forestry and infrastructure businesses, there is an obligation to monitor and report about water quality and other environmental parameters. Currently this is based mainly on manual work. Our project aims at developing an automated, cloud-based digital service for environmental monitoring which could be used globally. The solution builds on earth observation + global positioning + crowd sourcing + IoT + predictive analysis. Commercially sustainable, cloud-based water quality information service on Sito s current Louhi WebGIS platform. Potential benefits of the system for the customers easier water quality monitoring and reporting lower monitoring costs possibility to promote sustainability

3 WONDER-monitoring and reporting service 3 The service combines Earth Observation data (Sentinel-satellites) GNSS located citizen observations (crowd sourcing) Continuous water quality monitoring data The system will be built on Sitos Louhi WebGIS platform Louhi is a flexible service built on customer needs that enables the seamless, comprehensive and easy combination of data from already existent basic systems.

4 4 Space assets integrated in the proposed service Earth Observation: optical imagery (e.g. Sentinel-2) to generate regularly water quality maps for the various users/customers. surface concentration of chlorophyll and turbidity targeting at least to 10 meter resolution Satellite Navigation: Involving observations and measurements from citizens via smartphones and simple measurement devices is relying on the positioning information in order to enable the correlation with other data. Water quality parameters of primary interest: Water transparency Turbidity CDOM (chromophoric dissolved organic matter) Chlorophyll- α (phytoplankton biomass indicator) Floating cyanobacteria blooms [Esityksen nimi]

6 6 WP1 User requirements definition Background research concerning user needs and requirements based on environmental legislation and permits has been done. Mini-workshop was held with Finnish Transport Agency and the Port of Rauma both involved with large dredging projects with turbidity aspects. Workshop provided useful material for defining the user needs and requirements for the product. UR-workshop involving all parties (companies, authorities, NGOs, service providers) was held at SYKE premises on 18 th of August A Surveypal-questionnaire of the user requirements and needs for the product has been published. Compilation of the UR-report [Esittäjän nimi]

7 The role of different stakeholder groups in defining the user needs and requirements 7 Private companies Needs and requirements related to service s viability and cost effectiveness Many of the needs directed to authorities and dependent on their actions Technical requirements for the service and system architecture Authorities Monitoring and data quality related needs and requirements Strong temporal perspective (need to ensure the continuity of current data series as well as storage of the data in the future) Service providers Viewpoint of the market agents operating in the interstice between private companies and authorities, good perspective on the viability of the proposed service as well as finding balance between the user needs and requirements expressed by these different actors Data production and procession related needs and requirements [Esittäjän nimi]
