News — Water Quality

COD is more than a number on a report. It reflects how human activity impacts water systems and provides a clear path toward better treatment, compliance, and environmental protection. By monitoring COD consistently, water professionals gain the insight needed to keep systems efficient, compliant and sustainable.

Although turbidity may seem like a simple visual parameter, it plays a vital role in protecting water quality, ensuring treatment efficiency and safeguarding ecosystems.

For routine water quality analysis, the spectrophotometer strikes an ideal balance between precision, versatility and practicality. It allows environmental agencies, water utilities and laboratories to efficiently measure a wide range of parameters with confidence.

Using Nitrate, Phosphate and Chlorophyll Sensors to Protect Our Watersheds Harmful Algae Blooms (HAB's) are becoming more frequent, intense and widespread due to increased nutrient pollution and rising temperatures. These blooms can devastate ecosystems, threaten public health and damage local economies. But new online water quality monitoring tools are making it possible to track, predict and respond to algae blooms before they become dangerous. Why Monitor Nutrients? The primary culprits behind algal blooms are excessive levels of nitrate and phosphate, often from: Agricultural runoff Livestock operations Fertilizer use in suburban lawns and golf courses Urban stormwater outflows These nutrients feed...
