Water Quality Monitoring Services
Water is a precious but limited resource vital for human consumption, wildlife, amenity and industrial use and monitoring the quality is essential if this is to be maintained or improved. OHES has a very successful track record of conducting a wide range of water quality monitoring programmes and investigations across the UK and we offer bespoke monitoring services, including monitioring programme design, sampling, analysis and comprehensive reporting services. We have experienced and skilled staff, many of whom are ex-environmental regulators, and we provide a complete service to support your business objectives and ensure your regulatory requirements are met.
Examples include effluent and environmental permit compliance monitoring as well as the monitoring of rivers and lakes for diffuse and point source pollution and performing high-level, catchment-wide nutrients investigations. In addition, our expertise is sought in sampling the safety of bathing waters and attending pollution incidents where water quality, wildlife or human health may be affected by contaminants.
Experienced OHES ecologists are also able to assess a wide range of ecological indicator taxa such as aquatic macro-invertebrates, macrophytes and fish. We provide an integrated approach, linking the aquatic ecology to habitat availability, flow and water quality.- River and lake water quality sampling
