Why does coastal water quality monitoring need to change?

Smart Skies, Healthy Waters

Real-time coastal water intelligence, at scale.

Current coastal water quality monitoring at scale is non existent. This results in risks to water companies’ reputations, public health, the environment and coastal economies.

Our £7M Ofwat-funded project is a world-first solution to this problem.

We’re combining robotics, automated drones and rapid shore-side testing to deliver scalable, real-time monitoring for our coasts.

In collaboration with Northumbrian Water and partners across the technology, research and scientific sectors, we are bringing our coastline into focus.
