More than 63% of rivers and lakes in the European Union suffer from severe pollution<\/strong>, and current monitoring relies on infrequent manual measurements. This is why WaterSense<\/strong>, a technological solution developed in Poland, proposes a paradigm shift in the way inland water resources are measured and managed. <\/p>\n\n

The tragedy that drove change<\/h2>\n\n

WaterSense was born as a direct response to the ecological disaster that occurred in the Oder River in the summer of 2022<\/strong>, where a toxic algal bloom caused the death of more than 360 tons of fish<\/strong>. This event highlighted the urgency of having technological tools capable of detecting changes in water quality continuously and accurately<\/strong>, without relying on sporadic manual interventions. <\/p>\n\n

How does WaterSense work?<\/h2>\n\n

The core of the system is WaterStation<\/strong>, a fully autonomous floating monitoring station that uses printed disposable electrochemical sensors<\/strong> that measure more than 20 water parameters, such as pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, chlorides or conductivity.<\/p>\n\n

Each sensor lasts up to 12 months and is automatically replaced once a day<\/strong>, without the need for manual intervention, while the entire system is powered by a hydrogenator module that guarantees continuous operation throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n

All this enables the system to anticipate changes in water quality up to 72 hours in advance<\/strong>. The solution is already being tested at more than 20 locations<\/strong> in cooperation with water companies and local authorities in Poland, including the city of Warsaw. <\/p>\n\n

Differences compared to other systems<\/h2>\n\n

The collected data is transmitted via GSM to a proprietary cloud called WaterCloud<\/strong>, and is publicly available through www.watermap.pl<\/a><\/strong>. In addition, a predictive model developed with AI, called WaterForecast<\/strong>, is able to warn of possible contamination three days in advance. <\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, other similar solutions are limited to the detection of detecting contamination<\/a><\/strong> while WaterSense can diagnose the evolution of water quality<\/strong> even before harmful events occur. In addition, the system performs automatic calibrations<\/strong> of its sensors with integrated dosed solutions, which maintains laboratory quality without constant maintenance. <\/p>\n\n

Future plans<\/h2>\n\n

Following trials in Poland, the company plans to launch a fullmodular version<\/a> of the system in 2025<\/strong>, expand to other European countries by 2026 and enter the U.S. market by 2027. Its goal is to democratize access to real-time water quality data<\/strong> and improve response to environmental threats. <\/p>\n\n

WaterSense has already been honored in awards such as the ING Grants Program<\/strong>, Warsaw Booster 25<\/strong> and the Carpathian StartUp Fest 2024<\/strong>. It has also been featured by the Polish EU presidency in the #WeDidItInPoland<\/strong> campaign, highlighting its potential to contribute to the continent’s green transition. <\/p>\n\n
