Innovative field monitor measures surface water quality

Surface water measurement

Due to the increasing global warming, the risk of excessive algae growth has increased. Therefore, it is important to quickly detect where and when this algae growth occurs in surface water.

EcoWatch

BlueLeg Monitor from Sneek in the Netherlands has developed the EcoWatch for this purpose. It is a stand-alone field monitor that assesses the water based on its color. A measurement is taken every 10 minutes, ensuring that the data is always up-to-date. This allows for quick intervention if, for example, blue-green algae is detected in the water.
