Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose significant threats to human, animal, and environmental health worldwide. These blooms can contaminate water bodies, produce toxins, and disrupt ecosystems, leading to adverse impacts on public health and aquatic ecosystems. Rapid and accurate detection of HABs is crucial for effective mitigation strategies and timely interventions. This project proposes the development and utilization of sensor-based technologies for the early detection and monitoring of HABs in Dal Lake, Kashmir, and will promote a participatory surveillance approach. By leveraging interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative sensor technologies, and active involvement of the local Kashmiri community, this project seeks to enhance early detection, understanding, and mitigation of HABs, contributing to the One Health framework. The project will address the urgent need for effective monitoring and management of HABs in Dal Lake, with a focus on public health, ecosystem preservation, and participatory engagement. The implementation of this project will have a potential impact on the health and well-being of the local communities residing within and around the lake and the lake ecosystem.
