Discover the brand new storymap on bathing water monitoring! Learn why algae blooms are increasing and how space-based technology is helping to address this issue. You will also learn what “physics-based” remote sensing means and see use cases that highlight the strengths of this technology.

Smart monitoring of inland and coastal waters

Authorities need to comply with EU regulations such as the Water Framework Directive and the Bathing Water Directive.

Remote sensing is a highly efficient way to support them in these reporting routines. Many of our clients and partners value the wealth of spatial and temporal data, as well as the time and cost savings that space-based measurements offer.

Despite these advantages, satellite-based water quality measurements are still not widely recognised in water management. Through our story map, we aim to promote a better understanding of this innovative technology in a fun and engaging way.

Scroll through our new storymap to learn about

  • The increasing risk of algae blooms
  • Current monitoring challenges
  • The technology of space-based water quality monitoring in simple words
  • How we measure and validate the data
  • Success stories from Germany
