An integrated infrastructure for distributed waste water quality monitoring and decision support

Waste water management plant protection is a major concern for water cycle management entities. The rapid identification and possible localization of anomalous or even malicious waste liquids immission may allow for undertaking pollution risk mitigation actions (e.g. using of ancillary basins) and reduce maintenance costs. Pervasive monitoring of the transport network is hence needed although economic and technical issues prevent its implementation. The SIMONA project is aimed to design, deploy and test an integrated, intelligent, pervasive monitoring infrastructure based on a network of low cost/low maintenance quali-quantitative multisensor nodes. A scalable data processing facility permit the ingestion and the processing of the data stream while a set of models provide for quali-quantitative forecasting increasing the manager situational awareness about the smart infrastructure. All the information is made available via a GIS based Web HCI.
