Wetland Park

Project Description

Wetland Park, located in Western Australia, is a tranquil haven featuring expansive greenery and a vibrant man-made lake. However, it faces challenges such as the risk of botulism from nearby industrial runoff. To tackle these issues, the park authorities have partnered with Arnowa, implementing cutting-edge wireless smart technology to enable real-time monitoring of the lake’s water quality, thereby helping to mitigate potential hazards and maintain a healthy environment.

Project Summary

Arnowa aims to deploy essential hardware infrastructure, connectivity setup, and data analysis tools necessary for effectively monitoring and maintaining the overall health of the lake and its surrounding ecosystem.

Challenges

• Environmental Adaptability: Designing a solution that can adapt to the area’s diverse environmental and weather conditions.
• Reliable Network Establishment: Establishing a robust network that ensures reliable data transmission capabilities.
• Cost-Effective Monitoring: Developing a system that efficiently monitors and maintains the health of the water body and its adjacent region without excessive costs.

Objective

To enhance the management of the Wetland Park by implementing smart technologies that facilitate real-time monitoring of water quality and promote environmental health.

Solutions

• Smart Water Quality Monitoring Network: Arnowa installed a network of over six monitoring stations, each equipped with 4 to 6 probes, to track water quality.
• Smart Alert Systems: These systems were integrated to promptly identify any unintended changes in water quality levels.
• Advanced Monitoring Software: Arnowa’s software allows for real-time remote access and centralized control over all monitoring devices.
• NPK Sensors and Drainage Monitoring: The installation of NPK sensors enables effective soil fertilization monitoring, while drainage systems analyze pollutant levels in inflow.
• Wildlife Tracking with Smart Cameras: Smart cameras were deployed to track wildlife, providing valuable insights into locations, statistics, and species present in the park.

Results

• Effective monitoring and management of the lake and its surrounding areas were achieved.
• Improved monitoring and management of flora and fauna within the park.
• Enhanced water quality monitoring of the lake, contributing to a healthier ecosystem.

Significant minimization of resource wastage through efficient monitoring practices.
