WP 3: Implementation and monitoring of the WATERCARE water quality integrated system (WQIS)». Deliverable D.5.1.1 – Alert Tool for the Bathing Water Management

In this report, we describe the design, development, implementation and testing of the Alert Tool for the Bathing Water Management.
The flow of information stored in the Water Quality Integrated System (WQIS) database is managed by a continuously running software that processes the data by means of a forecast operational model connected to an alert tool. These tools are the WQIS results and allow generation and delivery of FIB dispersion forecast maps, which are then used by decisionmakers. Therefore, the system outputs real-time data that update historical series with new data.
The alert tool notifies users of:
o system progress;
o any abnormalities in the environmental parameters;
o any hardware abnormalities detected in real time.
The alert tool has been tested and applied to the five pilot sites in the Adriatic Sea.

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
