Objectives of the Product
Going further than just producing water quality data, the EOSmart solution is capable of transforming global water quality data into actionable information. This massively simplifies data access for water managers, allowing them to condense data to business-relevant information and integrate EO-based measurement in routine operations.
Customers and their Needs
Customers are starting to include data sources such as remote-sensing data, but need to manage the increasing data volumes up to analysis, and report it in a more efficient way.
An easy-to-use web interface allows the customers to quickly gain an overview of the water quality in their water bodies and areas of interest in coastal regions. Comparison to in-situ measurements and the fast information about thresholds being exceeded are crucial to react to unwanted developments in the respective water bodies. Statistical analysis tools for longer time series are needed to comply with reporting duties on the water quality of lakes and rivers.
Targeted customer/users’ countries
EOSmart is useful for customers all across the globe, as the smart analytics and services are location-independent.
A specific focus is set on:
- Water authorities (e.g. bathing water monitoring and alert)
- Water Industry (e.g. coastal construction)
Product description
The EOSmart product and services are tailored water quality information on a global scale, from novel very-high to high spatial and temporal resolutions, served in the most automated and customer-oriented way through a commercial online platform.

Added Value
Water quality information at your fingertips – easy and super-fast access to global water quality information.
