Continuous Monitoring of Reservoir Water Quality
The September 2009 issue of the Journal of the Australian Water Association features an article on the Lake Wivenhoe Integrated Wireless Sensor Network. This project is a collaboration between CSIRO, Seqwater and the University of Queensland, and involves a deployment of floating sensor nodes, land-based nodes, and an autonomous boat. The system monitors processes that affect water quality and provides this information to operators and modelers to allow early warning of deteriorating water quality.
The autonous boat provides a mobile platform for a variety of sensors.
