The management of agricultural land requires an assessment of the effects of agriculture on the water balance, particularly against the background of increasing restrictions on the application of nitrogenous substances (liquid manure, fermentation residues from biogas and sewage sludge). The data available to date does not allow dynamic utilisation of agricultural land. The monitoring network of the State Agency for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia (LANUV NRW) with 300 hydrometeorological monitoring stations is not only used for flood information services. It also has the potential to collect basic data that will enable the balancing and assessment of nitrate input into groundwater through agriculture and thus sustainable nitrate management. The data obtained is to be transferred to a cloud-based decision management system and made available to users there.
Aim of DOn the one hand, MeStHyA aims to standardise the setup and operation of hydrometeorological measuring stations. On the other hand, the data obtained is to be transferred to a cloud-based decision management system by generating an interface in order to optimise digital data acquisition and its provision. This requires the development of a concept for the design and equipment of the measuring points and the entire measuring network.
Initially, the monitoring network will be equipped with new hydrometeorological sensors and the St. Arnold lysimeter facility will be expanded into a climate reference site. The modernisation of the monitoring network will serve to set up and verify AI models. The interface to the cloud (SDI12 transmission) will then be adapted in order to access the measurement data directly at the sensor and create real redundancy in data transmission (prototype development). The potential for upscaling to other measurement networks is assessed in the next step, as is the possible integration of other measurement networks. All the work carried out will be transferred to a digital operating system for documentation purposes.
The FG Water Infrastructure and Digitalisation is responsible for DMeStHyA provides scientific support for the following topics:
The preparation of reports and the transfer of knowledge from other R&D projects, the organisation of quarterly status meetings including minutes and the preparation of annual interim reports are also part of the FG's remit.
The research here is tough.
