Meet your legal obligations with water monitoring
Water monitoring is an important part of many businesses’ day to day activity. Many need to legally be aware of the effect their emissions are having on local water supplies as well as monitoring their trade effluent. Other companies may want generic information about a water supply for monitoring purposes.
Water monitoring is a specialist service that requires technical equipment to be employed. This equipment should meet the strict requirements of the Environment Agency and be MCERTS approved. The use of MCERTS approved equipments shows that the monitoring has been carried out using high quality, reliable instruments.
Some companies require continuous monitoring where as others opt for spot testing at certain, pre-set times. Whichever method is used, water monitoring will assess a number of things including potentially harmful discharges like ammonia, nitrate, dissolved oxygen and other effluent discharge. This monitoring is often required by law. Water monitoring may also look at factors like temperature, pressure, pH levels and conductivity which may be of interest to the company carrying out the monitoring but which have no negative environmental effect. There is no legal obligation to monitor this information but it can be vital to companies who require in-depth water information. Water flow can also be important especially for hydro-electricity schemes and equipment is available to test the flow in rivers, streams and other water outlets.
Remote monitoring is a system favoured by many companies. This sees testing equipment set up at a specific water point. The water quality is continuously monitored and results are accessed via an internet portal. Remote monitoring can also be used to gauge rainfall levels and water flow, which while not analysing the water quality, is also an important part of monitoring for many firms.
