Surface water quality monitoring

Surface water refers to the collective term for water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs on the Earth's surface. With the increase of population and rapid economic development, the problem of surface water quality is becoming increasingly prominent.

Purpose of surface water quality monitoring indicators:

1. Monitoring of water temperature and pH value to understand the basic properties and stability of water bodies

2. Monitoring of dissolved oxygen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) to assess oxygen supply and organic pollution in water bodies

3. Monitoring of suspended solids and turbidity to understand the situation of particulate matter pollution in water bodies

4. Monitoring of nutrients (such as ammonia, nitrate, and phosphate) to determine the degree of eutrophication in water bodies

5. Monitoring of heavy metals and organic pollutants to assess the pollution status of water bodies

Note: In some monitoring projects, if the monitoring results are below the detection limit and it is confirmed that there are no new sources of pollution, the monitoring frequency can be reduced. According to the different economic development situations in different regions, the selected testing items should be monitored once a year in areas with monitoring capabilities (equipped with GC/MS).
