Description

💎 Idea
Waterpix - Inspect your water in every pixel
The project is dedicated to water analysis, with a primary focus on lakes and rivers, assessing a wide range of environmental characteristics.

Problem:

Running out of clean water is a serious risk for both businesses and societies. It can disrupt supply chains, increase costs, and affect product quality for companies. At the same time, it can lead to water shortages for people, making daily life difficult and impacting public health. To mitigate these risks, businesses and communities must focus on water conservation, pollution control, and sustainable water management practices.

  • Degrading Water Quality - due to climate change and anthropogenic pollution.
  • Shrinking Water Resources - anthropological pressure on natural water cycle.
  • Insufficient in-situ monitoring - poor frequency and spatial distribution.      

Our solution provides the ability to continuously monitor reservoirs, detecting changes in water quality, which will increase awareness in water management. Industrial companies will be able to predict how the quality of the water they use will change. As a result, they will save money and time in responding more quickly to pollution that has occurred.

In the future, we would like to develop our product in the direction of additional in-situ bathymetric surveys of water reservoirs, so as to provide information on reservoir abundance with full accuracy. Also we will constantly develop the product and maintain its functionality so as to be as close to the customer as possible.


🛰️ EU space technologies

  • Sentinel-2 imagery - to calculate indices indicating water quality status,
  • Sentinel-1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) - for detecting changes in water surface, in estimating reservoir abundance 


⛑️ Space for International Development & Humanitarian Aid

We are solving challenge 2. Strengthening food security & access to clean water.

A water monitoring product aids humanitarian efforts by providing real-time data on water quality and quantity, helping ensure safe and reliable access to clean water in underserved regions. For developed nations, efficient water resource management fosters sustainable development, as it optimizes water usage, minimizes waste, and supports economic growth while preserving the environment.
