Multiparametric buoy for limnological monitoring of Laguna Charca de Suárez. Andalusia (Spain)
The wetland area called "Charca de Suárez" is located in the municipality of Motril, near the Poniente beach of said municipality, on the land called "Pago de Suárez", from which it receives its name. This surface occupies an area of 13.50 hectares, limited by coastal urbanizations and the Alborán industrial estate.
These wetlands are part of an area located between Nerja (Málaga) and Adra (Almería), where the union of a series of factors of a tectonic, lithological, climatic and anthropic nature has favored the appearance of wetlands very close to the coast linked exclusively to the Deltas of the main rivers.
The "Charca Suárez" is a surface of perennial, although fluctuating, free water that is fed both by groundwater from the Motril-Salobreña aquifer and by contributions from return water from the irrigation of La Vega. This surface comes from the transformation of the Guadalfeo River Delta, which due to the increase in sedimentation in the area, produced a retreat of the coastline giving rise to the Motril-Salobreña Valley, where finally, due to the dominance of fluvial sedimentation against the erosive action of coastal waters, a fluvial system of intertwined channels was created, where the frequent changes in the position of the channel gave rise to the appearance of waterlogged areas.
For limnological monitoring of wetlands, multiparametric probes have been installed on watertight buoys that are energy autonomous and connected to the Internet. Every 2 hours, 5 environmental and aerial measurements are taken (temperature, barometric pressure, wind direction and intensity and GPS position) in addition to 10 submerged variables (Temperature at 4 depths, pH, Dissolved oxygen, Turbidity, conductivity, salinity, nitrates, chlorophyll, ultrasound depth).
Within the framework of the INDALO project, the probes will provide information as laboratories to assess the effects generated by Climate Change.

- Purpose
-
Monitoring and alert system in real time to control the physicochemical characteristics of the water mass on a continuous basis to complement the monitoring of birds in wetlands.
The need arises when it is identified that the monitoring of sensitive wetlands in Andalusia was left incomplete by analyzing only the bird community, and not integrating the physicochemical characteristics of the water mass on a continuous basis. It was necessary to have knowledge of specific incidents in real time that would allow space managers to act (dumps, sudden changes in temperature, etc...).
