An interesting way to make our life green is the new sustainable bouys that are capable of keeping the lake water clean. This solar powered product was designed by Waikato University scientists.

By using these buoys you will be able to monitor the quality of water thus protecting the water from being polluted. These ecologically conscious buoys were specially designed to be used in Lake Tarawera which is located in New Zealand.

Lake Tarawera is known to be the second cleanest lake in the territory which will be under constant monitoring by the scientists around. The basic principle of operation of buoys’ is relatively simple with mounted solar panels on the buoys. The solar panels are used to power the data logger and the cell phone modem.

The data which is collected through the data loggers will be transmitted to a Waikato University computer every 15 minutes and let the environmentalists to take complete care of the lake by detecting the water quality and improving the lake bio diversity. These green buoys are expected to be priced at 50000 USD which again depends up on the area of usage. This intelligent device is also capable of measuring data such as rainfall, wind, temperature, oxygen, algae levels and also the water clarity.

The buoys can also be customized accordingly in order to collect data for particular purposes like lake response to intrusive weeds removal. The ingenious lake monitoring buoys can also be used to obtain some fishing information like the high and low catching seasons.

So if you are fisherman and living in New Zealand this device will definitely help you in learning the water and wind conditions so that you can improve your fishing activities.
