WQeMS
WQeMS is a European research project funded under the Horizon 2020 programme (Grant Agreement No 101004157) aiming to provide an operational Water Quality Emergency Monitoring Service to the water utilities’ industry in relation with the quality of the “water we drink”. Exploiting Copernicus Sentinel data, it provides quality monitoring of lakes valorized for the delivery of drinking water at a fine spatial resolution, following validated processes with in situ data. It focuses on slow and fast developing phenomena by offering: Continuous Monitoring for a specified area; Alert Notifications in case some water quality parameter thresholds values are exceeded and in case water related issues are detected through social media; and On-demand Mapping with one-off geospatial maps of a selected area at a requested date.
