WARMER is a research project funded by European Commission to develop a real-time water quality monitoring system for Risk Assessment.

WARMER is an interdisciplinary project that integrates R&D activities in a number of different disciplines, such as chemistry, electronics, information technology, networking and micromechanics. The final result will be a development of a multi-parameter water quality monitoring system that could be effectively used for water risk management and subsequently can be employed for semi-industrial production for the fast developing instrument market.

It will be based on a set of modular multiparametric in-situ probes, to be integrated in a field deployable monitoring platform.

Field measurement data will be linked to remote sensing Earth observations using a Web based management system.

The new water monitoring system will be used as a decision tool, to support the management of hazardous pollution events in coastal areas, large rivers and lakes.
