Darling Baaka River Health Project smart buoy network

5 telemetered loggers (or 'smart buoys') are collecting real-time water quality data in the River Health Project area. Key water quality indicators are being measured to build understanding of the river system and its ecological health.

The smart buoys are continually sampling water from the surface to the deepest depths of the Baaka river. Key water quality indicators such a nutrients, temperature, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen are being measured to build understanding of the river system and its ecological health.

This data helps scientists better understand the water quality dynamics of the river. Data is being collected over a range of weather and flow conditions. Some of the smart buoys may be relocated in the future based on changing monitoring needs of the project.
