Multiparametric buoy for limnological monitoring of Albufera de Adra. Andalusia (Spain)
This coastal wetland, located near the town of Adra, constitutes a permanent source of food and life for the fauna resident in the area and a mandatory stopover on the migratory routes for birds between the European and African continents. Composed mainly of two lagoons, Albufera Honda and Albufera Nueva, its location in a natural environment surrounded by intensively cultivated areas is surprising, like islands of water immersed in a sea of plastic. Despite the changes that have occurred in its environment over time and its current small size, the marsh complex constitutes a biodiversity hotspot, with the presence of some 600 identified species of flora and fauna.
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...).
