Hidroboya TM: The ‘Sample&Hold’ platform in the analog to digital understanding of our waters

Hidroboya is a platform to measure water quality parameters. It effectively surpass the crucial problem of the fouling in the sensors. The main idea behind Hidroboya is to keep the sensors in a chamber (the sampling chamber) where they are kept in a wet and dark environment between the times the measurements are to be done. When a measurement is to be done, the water is left to flood into the chamber and after a time (a few seconds to let the sensors get stabilized in the new environment), the measurements are done. After that, using an air compressor, the water is put again into the point it has been picked (any number of meters in the column of water) and the sensors are left in the wet and dark conditions that are ideal for them to perfectly be conserved until the next measurement process.
