Innovative Solutions in Surface Water Quality Monitoring

In 2010 a project entitled “Integrated Support System for Management and Protection of Water Dam Reservoir (ZiZOZap)” was initiated, to aid solving water management problems on a river and dam reservoir formed on it. An innovative system of continuous monitoring was created, that encompassed selected physical and chemical parameters of river and lake waters in three chosen sites. This article presents a selection of results, that were obtained thanks to the continuous monitoring. In particular, monitoring of parameters with high diurnal variability benefits from this measurement design. Sites that are essential for water management are recommended to be monitored in this way.
