Sensors, Telemetry & Water Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of vegetation establishment, bird species abundance, and watercourse hydraulic conditions.
Monitoring system diagram
Hydraulic monitoring with continuous level sensors and flow measurement campaigns, combined with biodiversity surveys of vegetation, birds, and coypu burrows.

Biodiversity Monitoring
Before works abundance of bird species in the four survey sites of Pianton
The survey detected in total 22 species (18 in reference sites and 12 in NBS2 sites). Community is composed by species of birds typical of agroecosystems. Nine species are linked to small watercourses and canals, three of which are dominant: the mallard, the moorhen, and the pygmy cormorant.
Abundance of Coypu burrows along the four sample transect
Visual monitoring of burrows is carried out to verify if NBS can help in reducing settlement along the slope of the canal. The abundance of burrows before works is quite regular along three transects.
Surface area covered by type of vegetation along two sample transects
Monitoring of vegetation is carried out in 2 transects (400 m each) to verify if NBS can help in improving biodiversity in the river. - In the upstream transect the herbaceous vegetation is completely cut; - In the downstream transect the herbaceous vegetation is cut only in the upper part of the bank.
