The judging panel managed to shortlist for the 8 award categories and the winners and finalists were invited onto the stage to receive their trophies from Heidi Mottram CEO” (NWG).
Monitor, Predict and Control Harmful Algal Blooms
The MPC-Buoy is a floating solar-powered system that combines continuous water quality monitoring, web-based software, and ultrasonic technology to effectively control harmful algal blooms in large water surfaces, such as lakes and drinking water reservoirs. At this moment, the MPC-Buoy is installed in lakes and water reservoirs in, among other countries, the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and Poland.
