Water Quality Monitoring
Water quality monitoring is the process of regularly testing and analyzing water to ensure it is safe for human use and the environment. This involves measuring various parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and the presence of contaminants like heavy metals or bacteria.
Monitoring can be conducted in different water sources, including rivers, lakes, and groundwater. It helps identify pollution sources, track changes over time, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Effective water quality monitoring is essential for protecting public health and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
