Water Quality Monitoring

"This type of MRV involves the collection and analysis of water samples to assess various parameters that indicate water quality. These parameters may include chemical constituents (e.g., pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, heavy metals), biological indicators (e.g., presence of pathogens, aquatic biodiversity), and physical properties (e.g., temperature, turbidity). Monitoring water quality helps identify potential contaminants, evaluate compliance with water quality standards or regulations, and assess the effectiveness of pollution control measures. "
