As part of the above information system, the center is also carrying out geo tagging of all major water bodies/lakes and highlighting basic water quality parameters. Satellite images of Hoskote watershed is analyzed using four different water quality indices to highlight parameters like turbidity, chlorophyll, suspended sediments etc. While a time series database of a decade is created for water quality, a robust monitoring system is also designed for implementation. It is envisaged to monitor multi seasonal water quality parameters on a bi-monthly basis in the Hoskote watershed and surroundings on a pilot mode to highlight water quality dynamics. On further examination of the results the same methodology shall be extended to the lakes and water bodies of entire Bangaluru.
