The sustainable design of the environment is particularly influenced by water management. The program region is divided into three large cross-border drainage zones: the Rhine, the Elbe and, for the project in question, the catchment area of the Danube, which also has large parts of the Czech program areas as feeders. Lower Austria and the Czech Republic share a direct border river with the Thaya. This is a direct necessity to solve water management problems collectively and across borders. In addition, the areas are topographically comparable, but also in terms of infrastructure, which is why innovative solutions for the public, users and companies on both sides have similar advantages and value-added potential. The aim of the project is to protect and improve the aquatic ecosystem by examining measures for monitoring water-technical and microbiological parameters on the technical side in order to increase water quality. To this end, the necessary skills should be created in the region and the innovation basis should be set. The main outputs of the project are: Cross-border integrated monitoring system of water management of chemical, physical and microbiological parameters to support and supplement existing monitoring programs. Technological competence network for the development of online measurement methods and sensors for water technology applications with the core partners Department for Integrated Sensor Systems of Danube University Krems and the CEITEC of the Technical University of Brno. A catalog of measures and a research strategy that includes both concrete application possibilities for water sensors at regional level, but also defines a strategy for the further development of this field. The innovation step is the (more) comprehensive use of real-time sensors for monitoring physical, chemical and microbiological parameters for assessing water quality. The sensors should be connected to one another via a network and forward their data to a cloud service. The data provided via this service are presented to the authorized user on a web interface and are intended to give authorities the opportunity to support existing or planned monitoring programs. Existing monitoring programs can be made more cost-effective by using the planned online monitoring system, as no personnel are required for sampling and analysis. Furthermore, measurements can be carried out at the "push of a button" and the measurement data is quickly available online via a database server. The sensor system should be easily transportable so that it can be easily relocated if necessary. (English)
