Water Quality Monitoring

The fresh water system is a complex dynamic system comprising catchment areas, aquifers, rivers, lakes and recycled water. Wireless sensor networks offer a tool for integrated monitoring of all aspects of the water system, thus providing water resource managers with the information they need to secure high-quality drinking water which is vital for healthy living. We are developing and field-testing new sensor nodes and networking technologies that will enable versatile, scalable, and robust sensor networks for water management applications.
