Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring: Benefits for decision making

The document discusses the use of high-frequency, networked water quality monitoring systems to improve data-driven decision making for watershed protection, specifically within the context of a pilot project in the Winnipeg River basin. While these systems provide larger volumes of near real-time data to address threats from climate change and pollution, they also introduce new technical, financial, and labour requirements.

• Automated systems for high-frequency and networked water quality monitoring can improve data-driven decision making by providing larger volumes of data in near real time, though they introduce new technical, financial, and labour requirements.
• There is an urgent need for watershed data to enable effective health protection decisions due to increasing threats from habitat fragmentation, pollution, and climate change.
