Pollution of surface water

The surface water body monitoring and control systems comprise monitoring the water quality in order to provide the authorities with the necessary tools to preserve the wealth of the territory and its produce. This is a continuous monitoring without operators for some chemical-physical parameters, which allows assessing the water quality index. The system is an information support to the operator in the control center as well as on the field, for real-time control and monitoring; it allows sending alarms to the operators when critical thresholds are exceeded; finally, it records acquired data and relevant events for documentation. The data that are collected can be included in a geographic information system, so that the analysis and presentation of data about the water quality can be related with other spatial information.
