Tourismusregionen können neuerdings die <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualität</a> je Badestelle tagesaktuell per Satellit sehen. Somit können sie besser und proaktiv kommunizieren.</p>
<h2>Badewasser-Status für Ihre Region</h2>
<p>Ob Familienurlaub, Wassersport oder Erfrischungsstopp auf der Radtour: Für viele Gäste entscheidet die Wasserqualität mit über die Urlaubswahl. Umso schwerer wiegt es, wenn eine Algenblüte überraschend auftritt. Blaualgen können sich binnen weniger Tage bilden, die nächste Beprobung folgt dagegen oft Wochen später. Ein einziges Foto in den sozialen Medien kann aus einem kurzen Ereignis ein Imagethema machen.</p>
<h2>eoapp ALGIQ informiert Tourismusregionen tagesaktuell</h2>
<p>Die Web-Anwendung wertet Satellitendaten aus und verdichtet Sichttiefe, Chlorophyll, Cyanobakterien-Signal und Wassertemperatur zu einem vierstufigen, ampelartigen Algenrisiko-Indikator. Dabei orientiert sich die Skala an einer Empfehlung des Umweltbundesamts. Zudem ist sie ohne Fachwissen verständlich. Dazu kommt die aktuelle Wassertemperatur, eine der meistgestellten Gästefragen überhaupt.</p>
<h2>Die Vorteile für Ihre Destination</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Wettbewerbsvorteil: </strong>Nachweislich gute Wasserqualität wird zum Verkaufsargument für Hotels, Wassersportanbieter und die ganze Region.</li>
<li><strong>Fertiger Content-Baustein: </strong>Tagesaktuelle Infos für Gästezeitung, Website und App, ohne Mehraufwand für Ihr Team.</li>
<li><strong>Vertrauen und Reputationsschutz: </strong>Sachlich und frühzeitig informieren, bevor Gäste oder Presse es tun. Das schützt auch Kinder und Hunde.</li>
</ol>
<p>eoapp ALGIQ ergänzt die amtliche Beprobung. Die neue Web-Anwendung schließt die Lücken zwischen den Probeterminen und zeigt viele Badestellen gleichzeitig, auch solche ohne bisherige Überwachung.</p>

Mit eoapp ALGIQ sehen Gesundheits- und Wasserbehörden das Algenrisiko je Badestelle auf einen Blick.</p>
<p>Binnen weniger Tage können Cyanobakterien sich explosionsartig entwickeln und ebenso schnell wieder verschwinden. Zwar bleibt die amtliche Beprobung  dafür unverzichtbar. Sie liefert aber naturgemäß Momentaufnahmen an einzelnen Stellen. So bleibt oft unsichtbar, was zwischen zwei Probeterminen passiert.</p>
<h2>Algenrisiko-Indikator für jede Badestelle &#8211; tagesaktuell</h2>
<p>Genau diese Lücke schließt eoapp ALGIQ. Die Web-Anwendung wertet Satellitendaten zur Früherkennung eines Algenrisikos aus. Dazu verdichtet sie Sichttiefe, Chlorophyll, Cyanobakterien-Signal und Wassertemperatur zu einem vierstufigen Algenrisiko-Indikator je Badestelle. Diese Skala folgt der Bewertungsempfehlung des Umweltbundesamts und ist ohne Fernerkundungs-Vorwissen lesbar, ähnlich einer Ampel.</p>
<h2>Die Vorteile für Behörden</h2>
<ol>
<li>Überblick: alle Badestellen und Gewässerabschnitte gleichzeitig im Blick, auch bei Dutzenden Standorten</li>
<li>Zeitgewinn: Ergebnisse in Stunden statt erst mit der nächsten Probenahme</li>
<li>Ergänzung statt Ersatz: die amtliche Untersuchung bleibt bestehen, ALGIQ schließt die Lücken dazwischen</li>
</ol>
<p>Die Daten sind auch für die Kommunikation nach außen nützlich: Ein tagesaktueller Badewasser-Status schafft Transparenz gegenüber Badegästen, Presse und Tourismuspartnern.</p>

<p>Water pollution threatens human health, food supply, and economies. What&#8217;s more, global warming and increased consumption intensify the water stress. Yet,  many regions still lack the monitoring to catch <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">water quality </a>problems early.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where UNESCO&#8217;s International Initiative on Water Quality (IIWQ) came in. The goal: building capacity and knowledge-sharing on water quality.</p>
<p>In January 2018, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, EOMAP launched the IIWQ World Water Quality Portal. It was the world&#8217;s first global water quality portal built entirely on satellite data. Alongside it ran the exhibition &#8220;Satellite-based Water Quality Monitoring&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Dr. Thomas Heege, General Director of EOMAP – a Fugro Company, on why this mattered: &#8220;Remote sensing is an efficient and cost-effective tool to assess a variety of physical and biological parameters in aquatic ecosystems over small-scaled and large areas.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The portal provided information on turbidity, chlorophyll-a, suspended matter, and an indicator of harmful algae blooms for any water body worldwide. In addition, it included near real-time updates and historic time series reaching back up to 30 years, which was highly innovative at the time.</p>

Mit eoapp DIVE können Tauchende diese Werte – basierend auf Satellitendaten &#8211; für ausgewählte Tauchspots schon vor dem Sprung ins Wasser abrufen. EOMAP hat diese Web-Applikation im Rahmen des ESA-Projekts „Bluerism&#8221; entwickelt. Darin untersuchen wir die Nutzbarkeit <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">satellitengestützter Daten zur Wasserqualität</a> für den Tauchsport.</p>
<h2>Warum Wasserqualität für Taucher zählt</h2>
<p>Klares Wasser mit guter Sicht macht nicht nur die Unterwasserwelt erlebbar, sondern erhöht auch die Sicherheit während des Tauchgangs. Die Sichttiefe wird dabei von mehreren Faktoren beeinflusst: Sedimentation, Wasserverschmutzung sowie Algen und Wasserpflanzen. Besonders im Fokus stehen dabei <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potenziell schädliche Algenblüten</a>, sogenannte Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs), die immer wieder für Schlagzeilen und Badeverbote sorgen.</p>
<h2>Wie Satellitendaten helfen</h2>
<p>Seit 2006 werten wir bei EOMAP Satellitenbilder aus, um Umweltdaten zu Binnen- und Küstengewässern zu gewinnen. Anders als punktuelle Vor-Ort-Messungen liefern Satellitendaten flächendeckende Informationen über längere Zeiträume – bei guter Datenlage nahezu in Echtzeit. Mit zunehmender Auflösung und Verfügbarkeit von Satellitenaufnahmen wächst auch die Genauigkeit dieser Daten stetig.</p>
<p>Gerade weil sich Gewässer-Ökosysteme durch die globale Erwärmung zunehmend verändern und Algenblüten häufiger auftreten, gewinnen solche Informationen an Bedeutung – auch für den Tourismus.</p>
<h2>Wie die App Tauchgänge optimieren hilft</h2>
<p>In eoapp DIVE fließen Werte zu Algenkonzentration, Trübung, Sichttiefe und Oberflächentemperatur ein, ergänzt durch Informationen zu potenziell toxischen Algen sowie meteorologische Daten zu Tiden, Wellen und Wetter. Damit lassen sich Tauchspots direkt vergleichen: Wo ist die Sicht am besten? Wo ist die Algenbelastung am geringsten? Wo sind die Wellen niedriger?</p>
<p>So können Tauchsportler:innen den passenden Tauchtag gezielt auswählen und ihr Taucherlebnis optimieren.</p>
<h2>Testphase bis Ende November</h2>
<p>Aktuell läuft die kostenlose Testphase für die Flensburger Förde, den Kleinen Belt und den Banter See. Weitere Tauchgebiete können auf Wunsch aufgenommen werden – eine <a href="mailto:wq@eomap.de">kurze E-Mail </a>an das Bluerism-Team von EOMAP genügt.</p>
<p>Wer die eoapp DIVE nutzt, erleichtert nicht nur die eigene Tauchplanung, sondern unterstützt über die integrierte Feedback-Funktion auch die Weiterentwicklung des Tools – und liefert wertvolle Praxisdaten für das Monitoring von Algenblüten und Wasserqualität. Diese Daten werden im <a href="https://bluerism.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Projekt Bluerism</a> ausgewertet.</p>
<p>Bis Ende November können Taucherinnen und Taucher sich kostenlos registrieren unter: <a href="https://dive.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dive.eoapp.de</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2026, EOMAP became a new member of the <a href="https://www.fao.org/mountain-partnership/home/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mountain Partnership</a>. This United Nations alliance of members is committed to enhancing the livelihoods of mountain communities and safeguarding mountain ecosystems worldwide. Together, the Governments of Italy and Switzerland, alongside the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), launched the initiative in 2002.</p>
<p>Supporting the Mountain Partnership&#8217;s goal, we have studied water quality trends at a tourism hotspot. In 2025, we took a closer look at Black Lake in Montenegro.</p>
<h2>Assessing tourism impacts on lake water quality</h2>
<p>In the case study, we investigated Crno Jezero (Black Lake) in Montenegro. Our focus was the relationship between tourism intensity and <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">water quality</a>. in order to provide actionable insights, we integrated visitor statistics with satellite-derived Earth Observation (EO) data.</p>
<p>Annual visitor records (2021–2025) were combined with water quality indicators, such as chlorophyll a (CHL), turbidity (TUR), and total suspended matter (TSM). For this, we extrapolated seasonal visitor patterns from 2025 data. This enabled consistent monthly and quarterly comparisons across the study period. Results show a clear summer tourism peak. However, we could not identify a consistent correlation between visitor numbers and water quality. Both short-term (monthly) and seasonal (quarterly) analyses indicate that fluctuations in CHL, TUR, and TSM are not systematically linked to tourism intensity.</p>
<h2>A short anomaly in water quality in 2024</h2>
<p>A distinct anomaly in October 2024, marked by elevated water quality indicators despite low visitor numbers, was attributed to heavy rainfall and runoff. This emphasizes the dominant role of natural hydrological processes. Long-term EO-based analysis (2017–2025) further confirms stable baseline conditions, with no significant trends in key water quality indicators.</p>
<p>All these findings highlight the importance of water management and ecosystem-based approaches in understanding lake dynamics. They also support strategies for ecosystem management, restoration, and disaster risk reduction. This is particularly relevant in the context of climate change, where experts expect increasing hydrological variability to impact freshwater systems more strongly.</p>

<h2>A promising way forward</h2>
<p>In order to further refine insights, the data should incorporate higher-resolution visitor data and insitu measurements. For tracking the impact of tourism on the water quality of Crno Jezero, near real-time monitoring combined with actual visitor numbers could be a promising way forward.</p>
<h2>Assessing environmental and socio-economic stressors</h2>
<p>The study is part of the <a href="https://www.fao.org/mountain-partnership/projects/sustainable-management-mountain-natural-resources/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">project “Sustainable management of natural resources in mountain areas”,</a> supported by the Italian government. It contributes to the Programme of Work of FAO’s Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS) and covers further studies in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan. Its primary aim is to improve the livelihoods of rural mountain communities through sustainable management of natural resources. This involves strengthening the technical capacities of key stakeholders in assessing environmental and socio-economic stressors.</p>

In her feature &#8220;Winter hydropower operations in focus: from reactive to proactive management&#8221; for the online mag <a href="https://www.power-technology.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Power Technology&#8221;</a>, Scarlett Evans outlines problems and challenges the cold season poses, but also innovative solutions to address these.</p>
<h2>Peak electricity demand</h2>
<p>Hydropower’s winter vulnerability is growing. Peak demand coincides with infrastructure stress and limited water availability. Climate-driven shifts, such as variable precipitation, mid-season thaws, or rapid snowmelt add complexity. Advanced monitoring and predictive systems are now critical for proactive operations.</p>
<h2>Near realtime snow estimates</h2>
<p>In her article, Evans makes the case for accurate snow data: &#8216;<em>According to the <a href="https://business.esa.int/news/space-tech-to-help-measure-water-stored-snow-hydropower-basins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European Space Agency</a> (ESA), during the winter more than 50% of the water used for hydropower production in colder climates is stored as snow. Accurately measuring that storage is essential for managing flood risks, anticipating potential drought and forecasting power generation</em>.&#8217;</p>
<p>Furthermore, <a href="https://www.hydropower.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Hydropower Association (IHA)</a> vice-chair Dr Óli Sveinsson states: &#8216;<em>With increased monitoring and longer lead inflow, forecasting changes can be anticipated and production planning optimised</em>.&#8217;</p>
<h2>Satellite technology for forecasting</h2>
<p>In this context, the author introduces &#8211; among others &#8211; the SnowPower solution: &#8216;<em>Integrating satellite and radar sensors from the ESA’s Sentinel-1 constellation, the system retrieves snow depth information across vast and often inaccessible areas, allowing operators to monitor snow water equivalent and melt dynamics</em>&#8216;, before quoting SnowPower project manager Sina Starmans: &#8216;<em>Better data helps them decide when to generate more or less power, anticipate excess water, and ultimately maximise energy production from the available snow water equivalent</em>.&#8217; Evans also highlights the value of historical data for identifying long-term shifts in snowmelt patterns and supporting future infrastructure planning.</p>
<h2>Towards more resilience in hydropower</h2>
<p>The author concludes that the challenge no longer is to withstand extreme cold, but to anticipate how shifting snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles affect water availability weeks or months in advance. According to Óli Sveinsson, hydrology should be seen as a dynamic rather than stationary force in the future. Moreover, he expects applying climate data and modelling to increase resilience of hydropower installations.</p>

<h2 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="45.6px">Smart monitoring of inland and coastal waters</h2>
<p>Authorities need to comply with EU regulations such as the Water Framework Directive and the Bathing Water Directive.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/0de7398260664e98811ec5a2ae681f62" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scroll through our new storymap</a> to learn about</p>
<ul>
<li>The increasing risk of algae blooms</li>
