Predictions
- Monitoring of water, sediment and microbiological parameters at monthly intervals.
- Monitoring, quantification, research and generating awareness on marine litter and microplastics in the coastal environment.
- Record of incidences such as algal blooms, coastal foaming, oil spill, mass fish kill, effect of flooding and heavy rainfall water quality.
- Installation of sensor based buoy for the coastal water quality monitoring
- High resolution eco-hydrodynamic water quality model for Chennai, Puducherry and Puri coast.
- Provide forecast of SST, salinity, DO, BOD and E.coli for Chennai coast.
- Development of Mobile App “Clean coast” for coastal WQ information system.
- A web-based Information service system for water quality and beach ratings.
- Status of current scenario and quantification of pollution level around Chennai, Puducherry and Puri coast.
- 5 days forecast of pollution indicating water quality parameters for major beaches at Chennai, Puducherry and Puri coast.
- Data on marine litter and microplastics for development of marine litter policy for the country and regional seas.
- Dissemination of information to the stake holders for proper usage of the beaches, sustainable utilization and management of resources.
