netH2O-P: smart buoy application to fishfarming, mussels farming, desalination plants, power plants, river outflows


Smart Water Monitoring for Marine Aquaculture & Industrial Applications

Transform your marine operations with real-time environmental data and AI-powered insights

The netH2O smart buoy system represents the next generation of marine environmental monitoring—engineered to be robust, simple to deploy, and cost-effective, with minimal maintenance requirements. It seamlessly integrates into daily operations for fish farming, shellfish cultivation, industrial water management, and environmental monitoring.

Built from 100% recyclable plastic and designed for harsh marine conditions, the netH2O delivers professional-grade monitoring capabilities in a compact, eco-friendly package.

Fish Farming & Aquaculture

Embrace Industry 4.0 for marine aquaculture with comprehensive real-time monitoring that directly impacts your bottom line and product quality.

Critical Measurements:

  • Dissolved Oxygen (DO) – Monitor oxygenation levels to optimize stock health
  • Salinity – Track saltwater conditions and detect freshwater intrusion
  • Chlorophyll-A – Assess phytoplankton levels and water quality
  • Temperature – Continuous thermal monitoring
  • Wave & Current Estimation – Environmental conditions tracking

Data flows seamlessly to operators, enabling optimized feeding schedules, proactive oxygenation management, and early detection of freshwater contamination events—protecting your investment before problems escalate.

Mussels & Shellfish Farming

Shellfish cultivation demands precise environmental control. The netH2O provides the data foundation for maintaining optimal growing conditions and ensuring premium product quality.

Monitor the dynamic saltwater-freshwater boundary as it shifts with rainfall, tidal cycles, wind patterns, and wave action. This real-time intelligence is essential for:

  • Maintaining optimal salinity ranges for growth
  • Preventing contamination from freshwater runoff
  • Timing harvest operations
  • Ensuring product quality and safety

Deploy strategically at farm sites or near river mouths to create comprehensive monitoring networks that protect your harvest.

Desalination Plants

Balance environmental stewardship with operational efficiency. The netH2O enables precise monitoring of brine plume dispersion, allowing desalination plant operators to make data-driven decisions.

Operational Benefits:

  • Real-time tracking of brine plume location and concentration
  • Reduce discharge flow during environmentally sensitive conditions
  • Maximize production when conditions permit
  • Demonstrate regulatory compliance with documented data
  • Optimize daily operations for both environmental and economic performance

This smart approach to brine management protects marine ecosystems while maximizing plant efficiency.

Power Plants & Thermal Discharge

Coastal power generation facilities using seawater cooling systems must carefully manage thermal discharge to minimize ecological impact and maintain regulatory compliance.

Deploy netH2O buoys at multiple monitoring points to:

  • Track thermal plume dispersion patterns in real-time
  • Document compliance with environmental regulations
  • Optimize cooling water intake and discharge operations
  • Limit potential ecological damage
  • Provide comprehensive environmental reporting data

Multi-location temperature monitoring enables proactive environmental management and demonstrates corporate responsibility.

River Outflows & Estuary Monitoring

Create comprehensive monitoring networks at river mouths, canal outlets, and estuarine environments. Track the dynamic saltwater-freshwater boundary and its movement under the influence of:

  • Seasonal rainfall and runoff patterns
  • Wind-driven mixing and circulation
  • Tidal cycles and tidal currents
  • Wave action and storm events

AI-Enhanced Predictions: Collected data can feed sophisticated AI prediction models (which Mathclick can help develop, train, and deploy) to forecast boundary movements hours or days in advance.

This predictive capability is invaluable for coastal tourism management, aquaculture operations, water quality assessment, and environmental protection programs.
