Place: Silkeborg, Denmark

Client: Silkeborg Municipality
Challenge
Lake Almind is an important recreational site for the Municipality of Silkeborg, and the area is frequented by visitors for hiking, swimming, and mountain biking. The lake is extremely clear and has very good water quality. Silkeborg Municipality seeks to inform visitors about this unique living system and thereby enable people to preserve its high water quality despite its popular status as a recreational site.
Solution
An IoT based sensor system was installed to collect real-time water temperature and quality information, and a GOTM-WET model was set up to enable water temperature forecasting. The sensor system and the GOTM-WET model was implemented and coupled with the ASAP Platform by WaterWebTools, which effectively comprised a digital twin of the lake. Data is shared in real-time via mobile app, and via an on-site digital info-screen, which also integrates live information from the municipality.
Benefits
By installing a sensor system and applying a hydrodynamic-ecosystem model, and implementing these in the ASAP Platform, the municipality has increased public awareness about this unique system, and thereby facilitated a sustainable use and preservation of the lake.
