Overview
Water quality monitoring is a process to assess the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water by measuring various indicators to determine the health of aquatic ecosystems. It is used to identify pollutants and to inform decisions regarding water management and pollution control. Monitoring can be conducted in-situ or in a laboratory setting, using a variety of chemical, physical, and biological tests. Results of water quality testing can provide a snapshot of current conditions, and can be used to identify long-term trends and assess the effectiveness of management strategies or natural resource conservation projects. An understanding of water quality is essential for sustainable water use and is of growing importance as the world population increases and human activity has a greater impact on our planet.
