How to Power Up Your Lake Monitoring with Satellite Technology

Managing water quality in lakes and rivers can be a complex task. Regional councils face high costs, time delays, and logistical challenges when trying to monitor algal blooms and other water quality issues. Traditional water sampling methods are labor-intensive and provide only limited snapshots, making it difficult to catch every change in your water bodies. If you're tired of relying on sporadic manual samples and want a more comprehensive view of lake health, Orbica can help, and we're offering six months of free monitoring on your lakes to get you started!

Detect Algal Blooms Early

Keeping up with cyanobacteria monitoring in recreational waters is crucial for public safety. Orbica simplifies this process with a clear, easy-to-read interface that highlights potential algal blooms across entire water bodies. With weekly updates from Sentinel-2 satellite data, you'll have a warning system that can detect issues before they might be caught in routine manual sampling.

Optimise Resources and Cut Costs

Manual water sampling can strain budgets and often provides limited coverage. With Orbica, you get comprehensive updates every week without the high price tag of extensive field operations. Our automated system quickly identifies areas of concern, so you can direct your valuable resources to where they're needed most, significantly reducing unnecessary sampling trips.

Get Targeted, Actionable Insights

Orbica is about making smarter decisions in water quality management. You can easily spot potential bloom locations and track their progression, guiding your sampling efforts with precision. Our platform allows you to monitor source areas, such as river mouths, providing insights into bloom formation and movement that might be missed by traditional point-based sampling.
