The Ministry of Ecology of Tatarstan has launched a domestic monitoring system for Aquatorium reservoirs
The innovative Aquatorium water resources monitoring complex has been installed on Sredny Kaban Lake in Kazan. It is a fully domestic development capable of monitoring key water quality parameters in real time.
The new system is located near the Federal Sports and Training Center for Rowing Sports of the Volga State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism. The complex continuously measures and transmits five main indicators: hydrogen index (pH), temperature, redox potential, specific electrical conductivity and turbidity of water.
The installation of this complex is being implemented in support of the national project "Ecological well-being", where monitoring and improvement of the aquatic environment is one of the key tasks carried out through the federal project "Water of Russia". This project is aimed at collecting objective information on the state of water resources, ensuring environmental safety and developing effective environmental protection measures.
"By order of the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan, this year we have installed this equipment in Tatarstan in a pilot mode. The platform runs on domestic software and transmits all data automatically to a central point for detailed parameter analysis," explained Alexey Bulygin, CEO of NAECO, which developed the innovative system.
Externally, Aquatorium is a buoy with solar panels, which makes the platform energy independent and environmentally friendly. Among the key advantages of the system are the autonomy of operation without frequent maintenance, modular design and the possibility of remote data transfer.
The complex is designed to monitor various water bodies - rivers, lakes and reservoirs, which will allow for rapid monitoring of water quality and timely detection of pollution. The launch of this system will be an important stage in monitoring the condition of Tatarstan's water bodies and will further provide new data on the ecosystem of the Kuibyshev reservoir.
