LAKE WATER QUALITY MONITORING TOOLS

Abstract. Lakes as ecosystems provide many goods and services. To benefit from them in long term we must assure sustainable management. SIMILE (informative System for the Integrated Monitoring of Insubric their Ecosystems) project is focused on developing efficient monitoring lake water quality since it gives critical input adequate The lakes interest are Como, Lugano, Maggiore. paper describing which tools used to exploit different sources data: in-situ high-frequency (HFM) through sensors, satellite observations, data collected by citizens. Even though project, thus procedures lakes, can serve an example other too, especially because developed such a collaborative platform sharing satellite-derived parameters, mobile application web administrator interface citizen science, free open-source, they be easily adapted if needed. Moreover, processing coming based (and often also open source) software well documented. described this might foundation similar practice worldwide, step forward 6th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) United Nations (“Ensure availability management sanitation all”).
