Several water quality parameters must be measured before, during, and after construction to monitor environmental impacts. These will vary depending on local and state requirements and the type of construction you wish to undertake.
Today, we outline the most common water quality measurement factors and give some of the best examples of water meters capable of capturing the essential data.
Waterways including rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters provide ecosystems comprising various forms of biotic life, along with abiotic factors. Unexpected changes and water quality degradation can affect the stability of these environments. The activities that impact waterways are most notably, urbanisation, industrialisation and agriculture.
The most important factors influencing water quality are pH, temperature, salinity, nutrient levels, dissolved oxygen levels and water level. Water quality is determined by collecting information within these parameters, then comparing these with published standards or the known specific requirements of local of environments and associated species.
If you need data to gain insights for water management or scientific research HOBO data loggers offer a specialised yet comprehensive range of water quality monitoring data loggers that are renowned for quality and value.
