Usually, the decision to \u00a0use such equipment is made after <strong>visual inspections<\/strong> of the area, with the consequent possibility of committing errors derived from such inspection, and which have a significant impact on the operating costs associated with such equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The availability of more reliable information on the temporal probability of the presence of phytoplankton at the entrance of the desalination plant, as well as a<strong> quantification of its magnitude<\/strong>, would allow the equipment to be set up more efficiently, with consequent cost savings.<\/p>\n<h2>About\u00a0Marine\u00a0Phytoplankton Detection\u00a0 project<\/h2>\n<p>The result of this project will enable the <strong>design and implementation<\/strong> of a pilot kit for detection of <strong>algae blooms,<\/strong> transferable to any other zone, with a minimum of calibration work on the models developed for the area and selected point of interest.<\/p>\n<p>The marine phytoplankton detection project was born from collaboration between <a title=\"Cadagua\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/cadagua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">Cadagua
