This document describes a project to establish an integrated water monitoring system in Dublin Bay using multiple sensors and visual sensing technologies. The goals are to improve water quality monitoring, identify security threats and health hazards, and produce baseline water quality datasets. Sensors have been deployed at sites in Dublin Bay to continuously measure water parameters. Over 500,000 sensor measurements and 2.5 million images have been collected. Data analysis uses machine learning methods to detect events like turbidity increases and predict variables. The network has improved understanding of Dublin Bay, but challenges remain regarding coverage, biofouling, costs and translating data into actionable information.
