The ultimate goal of the project is to develop and launch a complex system to protect and improve the water quality of freshwater lakes with a sensitive eco-system, such as the infrastructure of the two new piers at lake Balaton. Given the two different locations, the innovation will be tested in a larger scale, which will facilitate the process of launching it in the market later.

One impact of the project is that the increased water cleaning capacity, resulting from the development, will improve the water quality of Balaton and the created market adventages due to favourable assesments of how the ports’ infrastructure manages pollution running into the lake.

The other impact, which is more indirect, is the possibility of turning the piers with similar infrastructures and eco-systems (including the same communal and agricultural waste) into active cleaning and monitoring systems, thus contributing to the improvement of the water quality of lakes and to the monitoring of their eco-systems.
