water sample analysis Articles
-
Water quality monitoring in a watershed requires easy to use field meters that are accurate and reliable.
For watershed monitoring, samples are needed from multiple locations that are typically far from each other. As traveling to remote locations is itself very time consuming, the time spent on doing the water analysis, from sample collection to getting the results, becomes even more critical. In West Virginia, some of the types of water bodies in the watershed, like blackwater rivers, possess ...

Can harmful algal blooms be predicted?
Summer 2015, as the eighth month of the year approaches (August), we are starting to hear and read in the news about sudden algal blooms occurring in freshwater lakes and marine environments. Many popular beach resorts have put up warning signs proclaiming the water is unsafe for recreational purposes. This is an understandable precautionary measure since phytoplankton abundance or more ...

WaterScope introduction
Focus on the algae! The 'Pitch': Harmful algae blooms (HABs) appear world-wide in increasing number due to global warming and this phenomenon comes up in places where this has not been so far. HABs are dangerous because toxins produced by algal blooms cause problems in various industries such as drinking water production, fish fanning, tourism, and the environment protection. WaterScope is an ...

Topological clustering as a tool for planning water quality monitoring in water distribution networks
Topological clustering was explored as a tool for water supply utilities in preparation of monitoring and contamination contingency plans. A complex water distribution network model of Copenhagen, Denmark, was simplified by topological clustering into recognizable water movement patterns to: (1) identify steady clusters for a part of the network where an actual contamination has occurred; (2) ...

Water Quality Models
' In order to determine the impacts of a particular discharge on ambient water quality, it is usually necessary to model the diffusion and dispersion of the discharge in the relevant water body. The approach applies both to new discharges and to upgrading of existing sources. This note provides guidance on models that may be applicable in the context of typical Bank projects.' Introduction ...
