<p>An integrated water quality monitoring system is provided for measuring, analyzing and maintaining the quality of water. Water quality measurements are obtained from a number of distributed sources, for example autonomous data acquisition instruments, laboratory analysis, user-entered results from on-site testing, and the data is communicated to a central database system through the Internet or other means. Remote users, which may includes users submitting water quality data and others can access the data stored in the central database system remotely and interactively. The system may provide text-based and graphical output and analysis. It may also provide to users input parameters regarding data acquisition, and access to functions such as receiving notification when a measured water quality characteristic exceeds an applicable guideline, indicating where user data entry appears erroneous, and providing advice and instructions for maintaining water quality.</p> |
