Water Quality Monitoring (WQ)

EO Mapping Services

Introduction

EOMAP’s water quality monitoring services provide temporal and spatial information on key parameters. These provide insights into the ecological status, dynamics and trends of inland and marine waters. Key parameters for EOMAP water quality assessments include turbidity, suspended matter, chlorophyll-a, harmful algae bloom and trophic state classification.

Our satellite-based monitoring services are a stand-alone, harmonised multi-scale and long-term information source. They can be combined with traditional in-situ monitoring data to map aquatic ecosystems.

EOMAP’s water quality service stands out by its high operational level, is based on the use of multiple satellite sensors and cutting-edge algorithms. We thus deliver quantitative, harmonised geospatial information from all parts of the world.

You can rely on data at intervals from monthly to daily and with spatial resolution from kilometer grid spacings down to few meters. We provide reports, easy to use web portals and customised solutions to help you access and manage all the information you need.

With eoLytics Water Quality, we have created a fully operational, extremely user-friendly processing system. This browser-based application allows registered users to do their own water quality processing in the EOMAP cloud, using our latest state-of-the-art algorithms.

    FAQ

    How can I request information for a specific site?
    Simply send your area of interest in digital format to our water quality team or use our contact form. You’ll receive appropriate feedback within 24hours.

    How far back in time are satellite derived water quality measurements available?
    Records from Earth observation satellites go back more than 30 years. Using transferable processing technologies, we can generate water quality information from this historical data.  The quality and resolution of the information might be lower for older satellite sensors compared with current systems.

    How is the accuracy in comparison to in situ data?
    Our extensive validation report showcases world-wide validation exercises for different types of water bodies.
