Organization of the paper and style of presentation With the increasing penetration of multi-wavelength and full-spectral instruments, performance has increased to a level at which they can be used for reliable measurement of TOC/DOC/COD/BOD as well as nitrate, nitrite and suspended solids, all in a single multiparameter instrument. Has microfluidics with nanodroplets finally delivered a solution for continuous in situ monitoring of critical components for the water using and processing industries? A suitable acknowledgement of any borrowed material must always be made. The increase in dependency over renewable energy such as hydroelectricity could help to maintain the atmospheric environment. The only river systems that remain largely untouched are the upper reaches of rivers in Indochina, such as the Mekong. Author: Joep van den Broeke on behalf of Benten Water Solutions. Whereas ecological status was a latecomer in Western countries, the involvement of institutions such as the World Bank and European Union in the development of monitoring strategies in Asia means ecological status has been a key element from the start. Khulna University Another development is the arrival of the optical DO sensor. Rapid population growth, urbanisation and industrialisation in the region threaten to limit the freshwater supply.

Such optical instruments, devoid of moving and replaceable parts, are highly robust and easy to use. Effective management of the water sources requires information and understanding. An interesting development in water quality assessment in Asia is the focus on the evaluation of its ecological as well as chemical status. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. This requires skilled personnel and easy site access, confining the applicability of analysers to centrally located monitoring stations with well-trained staff. 6,8 Instruments allowing algal classification are available from e.g. Water Pollution Control in Asia documents the proceedings of the Second IAWPRC Asian Conference on Water Pollution Control, held in Bangkok, Thailand, 9-11 November 1988.

The pressure on water resources is increasing rapidly. High levels of precipitation during monsoons as well as erosion from the Himalayas result in high levels of suspended solids in many of Asia’s rivers. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained. For example: (a) Madhavan, N. and V. Subramanian (2001). Further south, in Sri Lanka the disposal of unused pesticides, equipment washing, and poor storage have been identified as factors contributing to surface water pollution. In This Edition Jawalharlal Nehru University Wagenvoort, F. Jonker, J.A. Prof. V. Subramanian The pressure on water resources is increasing rapidly. A low-maintenance, more robust alternative has recently appeared in the form of UV spectrometer instruments.

As with the cabinet analysers, this restricts their use to locations which have the necessary infrastructure and skilled personnel. Oak Court Business Centre You currently don’t have access to this book, however you Anna University, Chennai, India, Prof. J. Zhang

Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Kudos is a service that helps researchers maximize the impact and visibility of their research. These have matured into a stable and robust sensor technology which can be used under rough field conditions, with an average maintenance period of between 3 – 6 months. Complete address of corresponding author, including tel. Currently, the other important nutrient, orthophosphate, can only be measured using online analysers.

Toximeters, also called online biomonitors, make use of this approach; an online biomonitor is an instrument that continuously records an organism’s behavioural and/or physiological response, and evaluates changes that could indicate pollution in the environment.

This is becoming increasingly apparent, and both China and India are investing in setting up networks of stations for continuous water quality monitoring.

In such a case they can be detected by measuring the reflectivity of the water surface. Current Science, 80:1312-1319. Number as Table 1, Table 2 etc, and refer to all of them in the text.

As more and more data is collected, handling and interpreting this information for management procedures is becoming the next challenge in water quality monitoring. Currently, the only method of evaluating the effect of such a mixture on living organisms is by exposing those organisms to the water sample.

Read 1515, Jul 08 2020 UV absorption, most notably at 254nm, has long been used as an indicator of the concentration of organic materials in water. 1)  World Bank, Environment and Social Development Department (2006): China Water Quality Management. KUDOS. Part 5 focuses on water treatment methods. Parameters such as pH, EC, DO, ORP and temperature can be measured using handheld meters or with online sensors. Increasingly, instruments can be deployed in-situ and can measure continuously and in real-time. Read 343, Process GC for VOC analysis for petrochemical applications, Sep 28 2020 Body of text (divided by subheadings) Drinking water production from river water is a serious challenge. Apart from phosphate, analysers offer the ability to detect contaminants, such as metals and arsenic, which cannot easily be measured in-line with other technologies.

Known sites at which biomonitors have detected occurrences of a pollutant not detected by conventional, analytical systems have demonstrated the usefulness of these biomonitors in river water monitoring.3 China and South Korea are heavily investing in the use of biomonitors, especially in rivers affected by industrial activities. Safeguarding and managing these precious water resources is receiving increasing priority. by selection of the excitation/emission wavelengths. F +44 (0)1727 840 310

In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. However, even with a combination of an oil-on-water and oil-in-water sensor, it remains impossible to guarantee detection of all oil contaminations due to their inhomogeneous character.
