Five water bodies under our own pilot monitoring.
Our earlier R&D runs in the cloud, monitoring about 75 km² across Paldang Lake, Daecheong Lake, Soyang Lake, the Nakdong River (Mulgeum and Maeri) and Saemangeum Lake from public satellite data.
Water bodies
The five pilot water bodies.
All are trial runs operated by the BASIN team from public satellite data. None is a deployment by a client organisation.
Paldang Lake
A major drinking water source for the Seoul metropolitan area, where the North and South Han rivers meet.
Daecheong Lake
The Daecheong Dam lake, a major source for Daejeon and the Chungcheong region.
Soyang Lake
The deep, large lake of Soyanggang Dam on the upper North Han River.
Nakdong River (Mulgeum, Maeri)
The lower Nakdong reach with intakes serving Busan and South Gyeongsang.
Saemangeum Lake
The wide freshwater lake inside the Saemangeum seawall.
About 75 km²
Total area of the five pilot water bodies.
What runs in the pilots
The full process, on real water bodies.
Water surface watch, bloom measurement, five drivers, early warning and spread, AI forecasts and automatic validation all run on the pilot water bodies.
Water surface & flood watch
Radar sees water through cloud and at night, flagging new and shrinking water.
Algal bloom map
Chlorophyll-a estimated for every 10 m cell, in four levels from clear to bloom.
Five bloom drivers
Temperature, N, P, sunlight and residence time, calculated every day.
Early warning & spread
Alert levels 3–7 days ahead, D+1 to D+7 spread paths and intake arrival dates.
AI time-series forecast
Concentration ranges and bloom probability 7, 14 and 30 days ahead, cell by cell.
Automatic validation
Error, recall and F1 against public monitoring data, per water body.
Pilot results are internal. Accuracy figures will be published after an official pilot verification.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are these contracted sites?
No. They are pilot water bodies the BASIN team monitors on its own with public satellite data, not client deployments.
Can our water body be watched the same way?
Yes. Register it and the first analysis runs the same way. In a pilot we compare results with your own measurements.
Can we see the pilot results?
We show them on screen when discussing a pilot. As they are not yet officially verified, we do not publish the numbers on the website.
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.
