is the development of an integrated and cost-effective Internet of Things solution for monitoring and analyzing environmental parameters regarding surface water. The solution provides timely and clear information / warnings for phenomena that require immediate response, such as floods, droughts and water pollution, with the ultimate goal of timely mitigation measures. It is an approach that combines wireless sensors to qualitatively and quantitatively monitor environmental parameters with an online IoT data processing, analysis and imaging platform. The solution is a value added service and an effective, valuable decision support tool that helps protect Public Health and save money.
The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR – ΕΛΚΕΘΕ) is a public research organization supervised by the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs and consists of three Institutes: Oceanography (IO), Marine Biology, Marine Biotechnology and Aquaculture. and Inland Waterways (IMBRIW – ΙΘΑΒΙΠΠΕΥ). The main scientific and research activities of HCMR are related to the study of the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems and are management oriented, with the aim of developing know-how, infrastructure and tools for sustainable management and protection of the environment and the sustainable exploitation of environmental resources. The research approaches pursued to achieve the above objectives are in line with modern approaches to holistic management of natural resources, based on ecological principles and the multi-use philosophy of the natural environment.
