“…By monitoring the drift of the buoy via the EGNOS receivers (therefore, by measuring the horizontal displacement with respect to a nominal position), it is possible to determine if the river flow has increased or decreased beyond a fixed threshold. Some GPS equipped buoys have been proposed in the past for continuous monitoring of river levels [3]. GNSS equipped buoys need to measure a horizontal displacement, with an accuracy that can be as low as 2 meters, which is feasible with a not expensive GPS/EGNOS receiver.…”

The study of water systems under multiple stress conditions involves the generation of complex models allowing users to make predictions. Nevertheless an effective monitoring system preventing risks of contamination for relevant water bodies doesn't exist yet. Currently smart integrated aerospace tools revealed high capabilities for "early warning" of critical events and collaborative decision making on natural disasters. Their flexibility can thus successfully be applied to water monitoring scope integrating brilliant hi-tech solutions like advanced satellite platforms and drone technology. This paper describes a clever synergy and design of a powerful solution to overcome the limits encountered by some important stakeholders belonging to water sector in a prompt detection and in the effective transmission of the pre/post occurrence information to the competence centers, and from these, to the in-situ professionals.

However, short battery life and sensitivity to adverse weather conditions limit their utility.…”

Abstract. In this paper we present a novel method to determine the time of occurrence of tidal slack with a GPS receiver mounted on an anchored buoy commonly used to delineate shipping lanes in estuaries and tidal channels. Slack tide occurs when the tide changes direction from ebb to flood flow or from flood to ebb. The determination of this point in time is not only useful for shipping and salvaging, it is also important information for calibrating tidal models, for determining the maximum salt intrusion and for the further refinement of the theory on tidal propagation. The accuracy of the timing is well within 10 min and the method -able to operate in real time -is relatively cheap and easy to implement on a permanent basis or in short field campaigns.
