Water Quality in the Mississippi Basin

A resilient method for monitoring water quality and nitrate levels in the harsh aquatic environment of the Mississippi River, in section 16, was required by the University of Iowa -IIHR. The monitoring of continually accurate water quality data was important for analysis, in conjunction with the diurnal mussel study of the University of Iowa.
Monitoring water over extended periods of time in this section of the Mississippi can be difficult due to build-up of aquatic sediments and zebra mussels on instruments. Due to anti-fouling capabilities and long term durability, the Hydrolab DS5X multiparameter data sonde was shown to be a viable solution for this study.
