Adasa has supplied Getxo Town Council with its aquaBio analyser, an advanced solution for microbiological water testing that will enable enhanced monitoring of water quality at Las Arenas beach this summer, as well as supporting official Public Health checks.
The introduction of this technology forms part of the new daily reporting system launched by the Council to provide the public with up-to-date data on changes in water quality at this beach, situated near the mouth of the estuary and subject to occasional variations linked to factors such as tides, currents or rainfall.
With aquaBio (more information here), Getxo will be able to carry out microbiological tests quickly and have results available within a few hours of taking samples. The system allows for the analysis of key indicators of water hygiene quality, particularly Escherichia coli and enterococci, parameters commonly used in the assessment of bathing waters.
The added value provided by Adasa will offer supplementary information to the official checks carried out by Public Health, which will continue to be the health benchmark in accordance with current regulations.
“For Adasa, this project perfectly illustrates the value of technology applied to water management: providing reliable, rapid and useful information to help public authorities make decisions and communicate more effectively with the public,” says Raúl Alonso, Water Sensors Sales Manager at Adasa. Alonso adds that “aquaBio transforms microbiological monitoring into a tool for transparency, prevention and trust”.
The information obtained through daily analyses will be made available to the public via the designated municipal channels, both on the council’s website and on signage installed on the beach itself. In this way, users will be able to consult the latest available analysis and find out the corresponding water quality classification.
Multiple applications of aquaBio
Developed by Adasa, aquaBio is a system designed to monitor the microbiological quality of water in various applications, ranging from beaches and bathing areas to wastewater treatment plants, water reuse, agriculture, industry, environmental monitoring and drinking water. In coastal and tourist environments, the technology helps to strengthen public health protection, improve the response to specific incidents of pollution and increase transparency in the communication of environmental data.
With this supply agreement, Adasa is consolidating its role as a technology partner for public authorities and operators seeking to move towards safer, more efficient and data-driven water management.
