Maintaining clean waters
Water Quality Monitoring
Water quality monitoring provides continuous or periodic assessment of aquatic health for public safety and ecology. Key parameters include temperature, salinity/conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, nutrients, chlorophyll, and contaminants. These results guide management, compliance, and restoration across coastal, oceanic, and inland waters.
Water quality monitoring safeguards public health and aquatic ecosystems to uncover pollution trends, guide treatment strategies, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
Clean water is essential for life and industry. Monitoring temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity provides actionable data to detect contamination, manage resources, and protect ecosystems. These insights help regulators and communities maintain safe drinking water and healthy aquatic environments amid growing environmental pressures.
