Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that uses existing technology to allow researchers and natural resource managers to collect significantly more information on water quality to better inform policy decisions.
Researchers developed a new technique for collecting more (and more accurate) water quality data. The technique was tested in this brackish marsh.
“Right now, incomplete or infrequent water quality data can give people an inaccurate picture of what’s happening — and making decisions based on inaccurate data can be risky,” says Dr. François Birgand, an assistant professor of biological and agricultural engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the work. “Our approach will help people get more detailed data more often, giving them the whole story and allowing them to make informed decisions.” Read more
