For safe and sustainable water quality
Surface water quality is under increasing pressure in the Netherlands. Sewer overflows, discharges from companies and households, pesticides, medicine residues and new harmful substances can negatively affect water quality. Natural sources, such as algae that secrete toxic substances, also pose a risk.
Surface water monitoring gives you insight into the quality of rivers, canals, lakes and other waters. In this way, pollution can be detected early and risks to people, nature and recreation can be reduced.
