We started taking measurements by starting as closer as
we could to the factory and all the way out of the artificial
river until our robot reached the sea.

The most exciting of all was that the
factory, after they noticed our
presence there and with the helping
hand of Media, tried to minimize
the problem. They placed pieces of
polystyrene in order to give water
time to cool.

We took measurements for a second time and the results were the same. So
we didn’t have any doupt for the measurements.

9
Then the research continued in the open sea with the boat of the Aegean
University and the assist of the Pr. Zervakis and Pr. Krasakopoulou.

10
First of all with special sensors-detectors we found the flow of the water. That
would help us drive the Hydrobot.

11
We also collected water with suitable equipment.

12
Futhermore we collected Posidonia and other plants and rocks to help us
understand the biodiversity of the area.

13
Finally our robot got to work and we started taking more measurements.

14
In the examination of the results helped Pr. Zervakis, who was very interested
about the quality of water in the area.

When we drew the graph of the results we noticed that in some places
the temperature of the water was very high.

The graph of the second measurements was also the same. We had
also 3 to 4 places that the temperature was high.

17
After a discuss we had with the
fishermen there they told us
that it was known that the
water there was warm. We
asked why and the just point us
the coast. They explained us
that there are 2 gazers in the
water coming from the old Hot
Springs (we found 3-4). In the
photo you can see the ruins of
the thermal spings.

18
 Conclusions:
• The “hot” water from the factory ( 25OC) doesn’t seem
to effect the ecosystem when in 50m from the coast the
water’s temperature was 50-60OC.

• The fact that there were fish very short to the mouth of
the river indicates that there is no pollution problem.

• Water also cools because of the the currents that there

are too many in that area.

• We notice that the water was very clear, more than
normal, so we guess that the nutrients and the metals
were less or even there aren’t any of them.

•  The high temperature of the water in the sea shows
that the ecosystem adapted to environment

and more experience, our little machine is ready for more!

that we build on our own. We build a stereoscope, which
can be used only if you have a Smartphone or a tablet. The
aim of that build was to help us detect some micro-
organisms that can almost be seen with naked eye.
