In environmental monitoring applications, methods and measurements answer “how” when determining environmental quality. To further define “how”, the following categories delve into the technology and methodology behind environmental measurements. The hydrology, water quality and weather sections provide detail on parameter-specific technologies and methods within each category.

Hydrological Measurements

• Groundwater, Infiltration and Retention
• Sediment Transport and Deposition
• Streamflow
• Measuring Waves, Tides and Currents

Water Quality Measurements

• Colored Dissolved Organic Matter
• Chlorophyll and other Fluorescing Materials
• Conductivity, Salinity and TDS
• Dissolved Oxygen
• Phosphorus and Nitrogen as Nitrate and Ammonia
• pH
• Turbidity, TSS and Clarity
• Water Temperature

Weather and Atmosphere

• PAR and Total Solar Radiation
