netH2O-P: application to ports, marinas, canals, water basins, lakes, waterways
The netH2O smart buoy system provides comprehensive environmental monitoring for ports, marinas, canals, water basins, lakes, and inland waterways. Every configuration includes temperature measurement and wave/current estimation, with seamless data transmission to end users.
Add optional sensors for salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-A, turbidity, pH, and specialized parameters like hydrocarbons, phycoerythrin, and phycocyanin to create a complete water quality monitoring network.
Ports & Harbor Management
Modern port operations demand real-time environmental awareness. The netH2O provides port authorities and terminal operators with critical data for:
- Dredging Operations: Monitor turbidity and sediment dispersion during dredging activities to ensure compliance and minimize environmental impact
- Oil Spill Detection: Hydrocarbon sensors provide early warning of fuel leaks or spills, enabling rapid response
- Water Quality Compliance: Continuous monitoring demonstrates environmental stewardship and regulatory adherence
- Wave & Current Data: Support safe vessel navigation and berthing operations
- Temperature Monitoring: Track thermal conditions that affect marine life and water quality
Deploy strategic networks of netH2O buoys throughout port facilities to create comprehensive situational awareness.
Marina Operations & Yacht Harbors
Marinas and yacht clubs can leverage netH2O technology to enhance both operational efficiency and guest experience:
- Real-Time Conditions: Provide guests with current water temperature, wave, and current information
- Environmental Monitoring: Track water quality parameters to maintain a healthy marine environment
- Fuel Spill Detection: Hydrocarbon sensors alert staff to fuel contamination events
- Algae Bloom Monitoring: Chlorophyll-A sensors detect potential harmful algal blooms early
- pH Monitoring: Track water acidity for environmental health assessment
The compact, professional appearance of netH2O buoys integrates seamlessly into marina environments without visual clutter.
Canals & Inland Waterways
Canal systems and inland waterways face unique monitoring challenges. The netH2O provides cost-effective solutions for:
- Saltwater Intrusion Monitoring: Track salinity levels in canals connected to tidal waters to detect and manage saltwater intrusion
- Water Quality Assessment: Monitor DO, pH, and turbidity to assess waterway health
- Navigation Support: Current and flow data assists vessel operators and lock masters
- Pollution Detection: Rapid identification of contamination events
- Ecosystem Health: Long-term data collection supports environmental management
Lakes & Water Basins
Whether natural lakes or artificial reservoirs, the netH2O enables comprehensive water quality management:
- Thermal Stratification: Multi-depth temperature profiling reveals stratification patterns
- Algae Management: Early detection of algal blooms through chlorophyll monitoring
- Dissolved Oxygen Profiling: Understand oxygenation at various depths
- Recreation Safety: Provide swimmers and boaters with current conditions
- Drinking Water Protection: Monitor source water quality for municipal supplies
