On November 24 the AQUAMON project organized a session to demonstrate some of the project results.2022-11-29 The session took place in the premisses of the "Lisboa à Vista” restaurant, which kindly provided the space (a boat docked at Baía do Seixal) not just for the demonstration, but also for placing water sensors and a LoRa gateway node, which was used for providing network connectivity to sensores located in the bay area. Two representatives from Câmara Municipal do Seixal attended the session (Enga Cláudia Pinto and Enga Inácia Silva), as well as members of LASIGE/FCUL and LNEC. During the session it was possible to show real time data collection from a water level sensor located on the other side of the bay, and also the automatic data quality characterization and possibly correction. Data correction situations occur when the quality is deemed insufficient (for instance due to sensor interferences) or when data is lost during transmission (in which case the lost data is replaced by resorting to artificial intelligent methods). There are currently 5 sensors installed at Baía do Seixal, providing not only water level data but also data about water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and other parameters, which may allow to assess water quality. The AQUAMON project ended on September 30 and plans are being made to possibly continue the activities in the context of a new project, leveraging the work and the good results that were achieved to extend and consolidate the sensor network that was already deployed. |
