Water quality is a complex puzzle, and at WaterVue, we are dedicated to providing the missing pieces that lead to a clearer understanding. In our PHYSICAL data layer, we measure and track the physical parameters of water, which include Ph Level, Turbidity, Temperature, and Salinity.
These parameters offer invaluable insights into the physical characteristics of water, enabling us to make informed decisions about its use and conservation.
How is our water?
The physical parameters we evaluate are essential components of water quality assessment.
pH level of water indicates its acidity or alkalinity, which is vital for aquatic ecosystems and human consumption.
Turbidity measures the cloudiness or haziness of water, often linked to sediment and particle levels.
Temperature plays a crucial role in aquatic life, affecting metabolism and habitat suitability.
Salinity measures the salt concentration in water, impacting its usability for various purposes, from agriculture to industrial processes.
Measuring these physical parameters is imperative for a multitude of reasons.
- They directly affect the health and vitality of aquatic ecosystems.
- An imbalance in pH levels can harm aquatic organisms, while turbid water can disrupt light penetration and photosynthesis.
- Temperature fluctuations can lead to thermal pollution, and understanding salinity is crucial for maintaining water quality in estuaries and coastal regions.
- These parameters impact the safety of water for human use, be it for bathing, drinking, recreational activities, or industrial applications.
How we measure
At WaterVue, we employ state-of-the-art technology and scientific methods to measure physical parameters accurately.
Our pH sensors provide real-time data on water acidity or alkalinity.
Turbidity is assessed using advanced optical techniques.
Temperature is monitored using precise sensor.
Salinity is measured through conductivity measurements.
We integrate data from remote sensing devices and satellite imagery to offer a comprehensive view of these parameters over large water bodies.
Our goal is to provide accessible and actionable data that enables informed decision-making about water quality.
