Turbidity Monitoring Equipment
Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid by suspended solids that are sometimes invisible to the naked eye. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality.
The suspended particles absorb heat from the sunlight, making turbid waters become warmer. This reduces the concentration of oxygen in the water, meaning that it effects organisms that can’t survive in warmer water.
By absorbing the sunlight, suspended particles raise the waters temperature and kill water organisms
The suspended particles scatter the light, thus decreasing the photosynthetic activity of plants and algae, which contributes to lowering the oxygen concentration even more.
As a consequence of the particles settling to the bottom, shallow lakes fill in faster, fish eggs and insect larvae are covered and suffocated, gill structures get clogged or damaged.
The suspended particles also help the attachment of heavy metals and many other toxic organic compounds and pesticides.
Other
Other types of Water Quality we monitor are:
Turbidity
PH
Hydrocarbons
Oxygen
Temperature
Salinity
Height/Flow/Level
Carbonation
These tests all rate the purity of the water, and test for different ways in which construction can effect the water quality.
Remote Datum can help monitor these effects easily, providing you with easy access to your data, as well as text and email alerts when pre set levels are exceeded.
