Experiences in Operating a Continuous Water Quality Monitoring Network

Source

Experiences in operating a network of continuous water quality monitors in the southeastern United States have demonstrated the utility of such networks for pollution abatement monitoring. Operation and maintenance procedures and routine calibration and quality control procedures produce highly reliable data. While local cooperators are necessary for economic reasons, the vital role of the trained electronic technician cannot be overemphasized.

Modifications and technical improvements to monitoring equipment are discussed. Problems encountered have been primarily mechanical in nature, particularly pumps.

Computer programs and semiautomated data handling systems have been developed to produce timely reports.
