Notes on satellite bloom monitoring, algae alerts and water intake management.
Intakes & alerts
Water intake bloom forecasts, and what an arrival date changes
How the day a bloom reaches an intake can be calculated in advance, and how three days of warning change intake and…
Intakes & alerts
Algae alert schemes, and where satellite screening fits in
How algae alert schemes are triggered and what changes at each level, and how satellite screening fills the gaps between sampling points…
Algal bloom monitoring
Satellite algal bloom monitoring, reading chlorophyll from space
How satellites estimate chlorophyll-a from water colour, the limits of cloud and shorelines, and how results are checked against field measurements.
Work with us
Start with a satellite screening of your water.
We screen your reservoirs and intakes from public satellite data first, then compare the results with your own field measurements. No equipment needs to be installed.
