Smart River HEalth Assessment
Identifying river health through a SMART analysis and citizens information
Looking for :
Sustainable use and management of water resources;
Knowing more our ecosystems will help on the prevention of environmentally damaging actions
Mission of the project
This project aims at improving the way "the river health" can be estimated by using not only physiological information but also remote sensing and citizens observations. The key contribution is to have a methodology that can provide the characteristics of the river freshwater conditions but also to be able to do it in a more dynamic manner. Here we use the concept of SMART indicators (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound)
Step 1
Characterize hydrology and ecosystems (from static and historical variables)
Step 2
Characterize and translate information from remote sensing into information for river health indication
Step 3
Apply the smart framework and define physical (i.e. groundwater) and dynamic social factors
Step 4
Build a platform to present the analysis of the pilot site.
River system: North East Chalkidiki rivers system, Greece
This project is motivated by the experience and current work done in various studies:
