turbiascaliboro: turbidity forecasting model and alert app
A model that anticipates turbidity events at the water intake and publishes them in an alert app.
- Client
- Salmones Austral, Caliboro hatchery
- Region
- Biobío
- Year
- 2026
- Sector
- Aquaculture and hatcheries
River floods make the intake water turbid. The hatchery needed advance warning of turbidity events.
We built a model linking catchment rainfall and flow to the probability of turbidity, calibrated it with past seasons and validated it with the current one. Results are published in a web alert app for the hatchery team.
Python, public hydro-meteorological data, web app.
