The market assessment of this innovation has been self-declared by the provider and has not been independently verified. For more details, please contact the innovator directly.
The innovation deploys advanced sensors in Lake Ohrid and Prespa Lakes to measure water quality (chemical composition, pollutants), quantity (levels, flow rates), pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, dissolved organic carbon, and biodiversity. Biosensors monitor fish activity for ecosystem health. Drone scanning assesses agricultural water use in the Albanian demarcation. Data is processed in real-time, accessible to stakeholders for informed decision-making.
The innovation also acts as a long-term water system monitor, enhancing environmental resilience in a transboundary approach. It combines state-of-the-art sensors and drones with active community engagement and a local operational unit. Educational initiatives aim to raise local awareness and encourage sustainable practices. The incubator fosters collaboration among local, national, and international stakeholders, ensuring the project’s success and sustainability. This aligns with objectives in the Ohrid and Prespa Lakes region by integrating robust water measurement and open data access.
The innovation was developed through a collaborative partnership between Build Green Group and LiS-Live Information System, leveraging their distinct expertise. This joint effort was initiated as part of a dedicated Research and Development (R&D) project, where the environmental NGO contributed extensive domain knowledge in water management, environmental conservation, and community engagement. Simultaneously, LiS – Live Information System is an academic spinoff of the Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (DIISM). It is developing a decentralized network with biosensors for both indoor and outdoor use, capable of communicating real-time data from sensors. This facilitates early warning for disasters and environmental degradation, enabling promptnotification to inhabitants and decision-makers. The partnership ensured a multidisciplinary approach, combining environmental insights with technological prowess. Collaborative workshops, knowledge exchange sessions, and iterative development cycles were integral to refining the innovation. This cooperative model not only expedited the innovation’s development but also enriched its functionalities by harnessing the synergies of both entities. This collaborative R&D project stands as a testament to the power of cross-sectoral partnerships in driving innovative solutions for complex environmental challenges.
The accuracy of sensor and drone data is contingent upon meticulous calibration, introducing a vulnerability to environmental changes or sensor malfunctions. Additionally, the effectiveness of drone scanning for agricultural water usage is weather-dependent, introducing a condition that could impact data collection during adverse weather conditions.Community engagement, a pivotal aspect of the innovation, is subject to challenges arising from local dynamics. The success of behavioral changes relies on effective communication and collaboration with local communities; resistance or limited community involvement could impede the desired outcomes.Transboundary collaboration, a key feature, is contingent upon active participation from national and international stakeholders. Agreements with key public institutions are integral to the success of this collaboration but pose a potential limitation, requiring meticulous efforts in securing cooperation.Lastly, regulatory compliance is paramount, requiring adherence to local and international regulations governing data privacy, environmental monitoring, and drone operations. Non-compliance may pose legal and operational challenges. Addressing these limitations involves ongoing monitoring, adaptive strategies, and collaborative efforts, emphasizing the importance of a holistic and inclusive approach to implementation.Furthermore, agreements should be provided with key public institutions, which be done in the first 6 months of the project implementation.
