follow-up of the main quality indicators more agile and reliable . However , due to the different characteristics in each region , this sample collection always demands a great effort . Our program seeks to reduce these challenges by allowing the automated collection of information about water .”

The project is evolving , overcoming the many challenges that a survey of this size always reserves .

In addition to Albuquerque , the initiative has the participation of professors Ieda Batista , José Camilo Ramos de Souza , Fábio Cardoso , Rafael Jovito , Raimundo Cláudio , Manoel Rendeiro and André Printes .

According to Albuquerque , to solve these challenges , the DCP Yara project has been working to build hardware , firmware and software specially adapted to the local conditions and demands , allowing the implementation of a set of mini stations for data collection along the Amazon River .

“ We developed probes and sensors , for example , that need to be able to resist debris , vegetation , clay and even attacks by animals in the region . We reached many answers in this first year , and today , we have already started collecting data in the port of Parintins ,” said Albuquerque .
