Advanced Technologies for Water Resource Management
Start Date: 01 December 2009 – End Date: 30 November 2013
The WIDESENS project aimed to develop an innovative probe based on microelectronic sensors to achieve a feasible widespread use of sensors in water networks management.
The WIDESENS probe has been completed and it currently measures:
pH 4,5-10,5
Conductivity 0-3000 μS/cm
Redox-potential 100-400 mV
Free Chlorine 0-1.2 mg/l
Pressure 0-10 bars
These parameters have demonstrated to be crucial for the evaluation of the quality of the water supply and for leak detection. Importantly, WIDESENS uses a low energy autonomous telemetry system and a user-friendly software application that can provide reports and trending data.
TelLab’s contribution:
The R&D team worked on the validation and testing of the Widesens system in a laboratory setting and also in real life environments; real life testing was performed at TelLab´s premises in the internal water circuit of the building and in the water network of the city of La Coruña. TelLab was the Dissemination Manager for the project which included the setting up of the website, the production of a video at the end of the project and the attendance at European and International Trade Shows.
