Surface water monitoring
Surface water quality is threatened in many ways in our densely populated country, with consequences. For instance, sewer overflows are a major threat to surface water. Wastewater from companies and households arrives at the wastewater treatment plants to be treated there. But it is still possible that parts of it can end up in surface water, negatively affecting its quality. Plant protection products, drug residues, new hazardous chemicals and bacterial contamination also affect surface water quality. There are also natural sources, such as algae that secrete toxic substances.

FAQ
Surface water monitoring is the systematic measurement and analysis of water quality in rivers, lakes, canals, and other surface waters. Regular monitoring provides insight into the chemical, physical, and biological composition of the water, helping detect pollution early and safeguard the ecological health of aquatic systems.
Monitoring surface water is essential to protect water quality, environmental health, and ecosystem safety. It helps identify issues such as nutrient pollution, oxygen depletion, or the presence of heavy metals. Early detection prevents environmental damage and supports sustainable water management.
The monitoring frequency depends on the project’s purpose. For continuous water quality assessment, measurements are often taken monthly or seasonally. For specific projects or pollution incidents, more frequent monitoring may be required. Consistent measurements ensure reliable water quality trends over time.
