“What Innovative Technologies are Being Developed or Implemented to Monitor and Improve River Water Quality?”
Meena Sankaran: Satellite-based monitoring is a common emerging technology for rivers and waterbodies since it’s a low-key effort for companies to innovate with. However, it’s not as accurate compared to many sophisticated onsite sensing techniques needed for complex parameters. In an ever-changing environment (like rivers) the frequency of learning and adjusting is required alongside a combination of water and climate risk models to showcase and reflect the impacts on rivers.
