  3. Water quantity & quality: range of environments

  4. Water quality: large river systems Applications of environmental fluorescence in UK & South Africa

  5. New river monitoring technologies Telemetry technology Wireless sensor network field observation  telemetry  near-real time data retrieval  warning system old technology NEW technology

  6. Advantages of new river monitoring technologies • High reliability  secure data collection and storage • Small and discrete installation  very limited visibility  low risk of human damage/ theft • Continuous monitoring  better characterise events • Zero time-drift  synchronised network to atomic clock • Low power consumption  avoid data loss • Radio or GPRS signals not dependent on network access • Smart triggering of samplers in response to events at a site • Communication between sampling locations  trigger monitoring at other sites (e.g. to capture downstream pollution plumes) • Near-real time data display of data on PC or mobile device • Data access from any internet connection to near-real time and archived information (for unlimited users) • Near-real time local and remote alarms = phone voice message, SMS text messages, loudhailer, flashing signals or other hardware

  7. Birmingham city water quality monitoring sites

  8. Technology in action: Bournbrook, Birmingham
