Abstract

The deployment of Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) based on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and data management in the cloud is a cutting-edge solution for water management agencies to track harmful algae blooms (HABs). However, each environment presents different intrinsic characteristics, hence the reliability and representativeness of collected data may vary according to the selected RMS architecture. This study aims to implement the same RMS in two different water bodies in Spain: the freshwater As Conchas reservoir and the shallow L'Albufera brackish water lagoon. We firstly evaluate the pros and cons of current technologies available on the market and then we select an RMS based on a combination of plug-and-play (YSI-based) and customisable solutions (Libelium-based). The deployment of nodes on buoys allows big data collection from different areas of water bodies, their continuous transfer and storage on a web server, and their subsequent visualisation on the web interface in real time. Secondly, in order to know whether the selected RMS architecture and monitored environment influence the representativeness of the collected data, we perform a Pearson correlation test between the deployed nodes and satellite images. The results point out that the more heterogeneous the environment is, the more nodes must be deployed in different areas for a longer time to obtain a realistic view of the water body status. Therefore, this study provides critical and empirical data to implement a profitable and effective real-time monitoring system in other HAB-affected areas.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Literature reviews often address only a selected group of digital twin problems in connection to certain algal cultivation for biomass production areas such as raceway ponds, closed-loop photobioreactor planning, framework management, shipping and water quality.

    “Literature reviews often address only a selected group of DT problems in connection to certain ACB areas (raceway ponds, closed-loop photobioreactor (PBR) such as planning [27], framework management [28], shipping [29] and water quality [16].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
