Water Quality Project for Thames Water

IETG collected data from seven river catchments in the Thames water region; Roding Valley, Burstow, River Kennett, Fleet Pond, Frensham, Oxford and Lower Lee.

In total, we installed 6 YSI multiparameter sondes and 63 river flow monitors, to capture the depth, velocity and flow.

The sondes measured the following parameters;

• Conductivity & Temperature
• Ammonia
• Dissolved Oxygen
• pH

Both the sonde station and river flow data was collected daily, and uploaded to an online platform, using remote telemetry, to give our clients access the data in real time.

This project also involved an intensive grab sample programme, requiring careful operational planning, and close working with a specialist laboratory service who carried out analysis of the river water samples.

Over 1,000 grab samples taken over a 3 month period! Plus quality sonde and river flow monitoring data delivered quickly to Binnies and Thames Water.

Importantly, the data we delivered ensures that Thames Water meets the requirements by WINEP for necessary environmental checks.
