Recent development in continuous water quality monitoring technologies and applications

One of the weak links in water Quality management is its dependence on traditional manual grab water sampling which provides only limited information on the status and trends of the water body. As a remediation continuous water quality monitoring using multi-parameter sondes or auto analysers which...
