Innovation
Designed with environmental NGOs, water sector professionals, engineers, and hydropower representatives in mind, this section offers cutting-edge solutions to tackle river pollution.
River Watch camera system
The Riverwatch Camera System uses deep-learning-based object detection to monitor and quantify floating plastic pollution in rivers in real time, enabling early interventions and providing valuable data for research and operational purposes.

Hydro Modelling
A customizable hydrological model has been developed to predict the downstream spread of plastic pollution in rivers, providing insights into waste spreading times, trapping points, and optimal cleanup locations based on input data such as elevation, hydrology, vegetation, and pollution levels.
Details
Remote Sensing
An automated system using satellite imagery with multispectral sensors detects and monitors floating macroplastic accumulations, illegal dumping, and waste in floodplains, enabling continuous, customizable remote surveillance and change detection.
Details
GPS bottle
The GPS bottle is a specialized tracker that monitors plastic pollution in real time by fitting into standard bottles, using GPS to transmit data to a publicly accessible map for tracking and hydrological modeling.
