Expected results

The main expected results of the LIFE CYANOBLOOM Project are the following:
  • Increase the probability of timely detecting and warning of a bloom at the monitoring site by 80-90% and reduce the chance of missing a toxic cyanobacterial bloom at the monitoring site to 10%-20%.
  • Increase the number of water sites being monitored by a factor of 10.
  • Increase usage of satellite data from VHR, hyperspectral and Copernicus satellites for water bodies.
  • Increasing the probability of detecting bloom initiation at the monitoring site will reduce exposure time to toxic blooms by 80%.
  • Reduce the occurrence of water supply outages by 10%.
  • Reduce health problems by 85-90%.
  • Reduce infection cases and medical visits, which will also lead to savings for the health system up to 15,000€ per case.
  • Reduce costs of monitoring and mitigation measures by providing a cost-effective solution, saving large efforts and investments to restore water sites.
  • Reduce economic losses to commercial fishery, recreational and tourism by increasing the chances of early detection of cyanoHABs by 80%-90%.
  • Job creation.
