INTCATCH
Development of new devices for monitoring freshwater pollution
INCATCH is a Horizon 2020 environmental program. This project has developed easy-to-use river and lake water monitoring and management strategies with systems based on innovative technologies, moving the laboratory to the ‘field’.
The chemical-physical, biological and genomic analyzes were conducted with a fleet of intelligent aquatic drones equipped with sensors that made it possible to measure the parameters to monitor the state of health of Lake Garda.
The main aim of INTCATCH was to assemble, validate and develop a range of innovative devices and monitoring services for the quality of rivers and lakes.
The idea was to develop a replicable and harmonized business model that allows water to be monitored in the 2020-2050 period.
The unique value of INTCATCH is based on the proposal of innovative devices that will allow to monitor water in an economical and efficient way and to cover large monitoring areas with an innovative and technologically advanced system.
