Collection of water quality data in the gulf of Trieste (Italy) 08/11/2023

  • English

The “IoT system "Cocal" is a real-time and low-cost water quality vehicle sensor network that covers the entire path from data collection to data access and web mapping.

Cocal consists of a series of low-cost crowdsensing IoT devices installed on volunteer mobile platforms, such as a private sailboat.

Each platform collects geolocalized environmental measurements (pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, redox potential), which are transmitted via GSM and LoRaWAN to an IT infrastructure capable of reconstructing in near real-time a web-based interactive geographic map of the quality of the surface layer of the water column.

The entire system uses open source software and hardware, and all data collected is fully open and accessible within a FAIR perspective.

Statement
The main objective is to monitor the quality of the surface layer of the water column as part of a crowdsensing/citizen science vehicle sensor network, providing data and information on the variability of the chemical and physical parameters of the water in the designated area. The collected data is processed in near real time and made available on an interactive web platform.
