| A
simple methodology for water quality monitoring |
Output
summary
Full document |
A
simple, appropriate and relatively inexpensive means by which water
resources departments can collect their own data about locally important
parameters and draw their own conclusions. The method uses a field-kit
approach and thus reduces the dependence on central laboratories
for information.
