Increasing concerns about water quality in various environments have highlighted the critical need for real-time water-quality monitoring. Weather-related fluctuations, pollution and other environmental factors can lead to sudden changes in water quality, making reliable and timely data essential for managing water resources for both recreational and essential public use. These fluctuations pose significant risks, not only to public health but also to the safety of those engaging in water-based activities.
As water quality can deteriorate quickly due to contamination from various sources, it becomes imperative to monitor and respond to these changes in real time. Gregg Sanders, GM: Digital Solutions at NEC XON, emphasises the importance of real-time monitoring systems in such scenarios. “The ability to monitor water quality in real time is critical in safeguarding public health.
In the time it takes to conduct traditional water-quality testing, variables at the source of the water being tested may make the test redundant. With the right technology, we can anticipate and respond to potential issues more effectively, and even track pollutants to their sources in real time – ensuring safe and sustainable use of water resources.” One technological advancement addressing this need is the Proteus range of multiparameter sensors, developed by Proteus Instruments, a key partner of NEC XON.
