System of water objects pollution monitoring

Abstract

The paper is dedicated to the development of system of water objects pollution monitoring. An efficient study of the environment situation and giving appropriate solutions related to its improvement require adequate information, obtained from a large number of various parameters measurements. Conducting the analysis more than 3-4 times per day is more economically efficient if automatic systems for environment monitoring are used. Such system of water pollution monitoring proposed by authors consists of: computing centre that collects, process and analyzes the information received from the network of automatic radio beacons by the radio channel. Each radio beacon automatically determines the integral index of water pollution and transmits the results by the radio channel from the investigated place of water object to the computing centre. The automated monitoring system can be used in a wide spectral range for registration of aqueous media parameters in hydro-physical and environmental studies, environmental monitoring of surface water parameters, in particular for suspended substances content measurement. The system allows controlling light scattering characteristics for environmental monitoring of natural water-disperse media, measuring of brightness at different observation angles under deep-regime conditions, building spatial scattering indicatrix, which makes it possible to determine the ecological state of the water object and the nature of pollution processes.
