Water quality monitoring
Water quality monitoring is the process of regularly checking the state of water in various sources, like rivers, lakes, and drinking supplies, to ensure it is safe and healthy. This involves measuring factors such as temperature, pH, and pollutant levels, including harmful bacteria or chemicals. Monitoring helps identify problems like pollution or contamination early, allowing for timely action to protect ecosystems and public health. It is essential for ensuring safe drinking water, maintaining healthy aquatic environments, and complying with environmental regulations. Regular assessments help us understand changes in water conditions over time.
