The Päijät Häme Vesijärvi Foundation has acquired the EMMI software prorgam from Masinotek. The Lake Vesijärvi Foundation is a unique Finnish initiative 
that combines public and private partners to secure funding for environmental research, maintenance, and management efforts in Lake Vesijärvi and its 
water catchment area. The foundation also works to improve the general public’s awareness of Lake Vesijärvi and its environmental condition and to promote 
all efforts to improve its water quality. The EMMI software now contains all environmental observation points covering a large lake area near the city of 
Lahti. The EMMI software system enables real-time data monitoring and helps monitor the environmental condition of the lake for recreation, industrial 
purposes as well as overall environmental health. This project highlights EMMI's strengths in combining historical enviromental data, online sensor 
monitoring systems, and current laboratory measurements via multiple application program interfaces (APIs) resulting in a real-time comprehensive data 
repository. In addition, EMMI boasts a geographical mapping representation of observation points to provide a greater overall understanding of lake 
conditions. This project highlighted the status of the city of Lahti as the European Capital of Environment in 2021.
