Environmental monitoring and risk management in Valencia

Overview

The Valencian Community is implementing various technological and scientific initiatives to manage environmental risks and climate change adaptation.

Initial efforts include the ‘Ocean Watcher’ pilot project, which utilizes drones, hyperspectral cameras, and artificial intelligence to monitor water quality. By processing spectral images, the system aims to provide near real-time data on parameters like turbidity and temperature, serving as an early warning system for pollution or urban discharges at coastal discharge points.

Further developments involve remote sensing projects that combine satellite imagery, drones, and sensors with AI to predict and manage natural risks such as floods and forest fires. Additionally, nature-based solutions are being studied, such as a project in Ontinyent involving a floodable park designed to enhance water resilience and mitigate flood risks within the Júcar river basin.
