Possible collaboration areas

• Hydrology and Water Management Branch proposal – presented separately

• Interest towards current NTNU projects: AWAST, SENSPOL & BEEP

• Applications for NFM-funded collaboration with Norwegian partners (Nov. '05): nationwide air quality modeling and forecasting system (4 Polish institutes + Met.no);

Faculty of Environmental EngineeringExperience: Comprehensive knowledge of problems, solutions and

technologies within a domain of water protection and water management

Recent international projects:

1. EUROLAKES (2001-2004) – FP5 Project of EU on large and deep European lakes with 15 European partners

2. ENMOS (2000-2004) – EUREKA! Project on developing continuous monitoring of water quality in surface waters with two Norwegian partners NIVA (Oslo) and OCEANOR (Trondheim)

ENMOS system• system consisting of 5 land-based

monitoring stations measuring continuously water quality (basic chemical parameters)in Zegrzyński water reservoir and in its two tributaries (Bug and Narew rivers) operated by Division of Hydrology and Water Management

Early Warning Systems for Water Reservoirs

Prof. Marek NawalanyDivision of Hydrology and Water Management

Faculty of Environmental Engineering

Project proposal • Departure point: The ENMOS system

• Goal of the Project:

Developing an Early Warning System for water intakes located in water reservoirs

Early Warning Systems for Water Reservoirs

Development aspects of the Project:

Innovative solutions required in

• robust sensors (bacteria, phytoplankton, heavy metals, hydrocarbons)

• robust hydraulics of water sampling (flooding and ice conditions, snails etc.)

• large data storage and cheap telemetry

• reliable alarm setting and controlling of water intake gates

Research aspects of the Project

• impact of water pollution on phytoplankton

• modelling of key processes in water reservoirs

• modelling of pollution transport in water reservoirs
