Abstract:
This chapter is looking back on 20Β years of online water quality monitoring, focussing on important achievements during that period, describe the current state of research and technology, and will take the oracle’s perspective at current and future trends. An overview of water monitoring topics is given, by method, measured substance, instrument, and by their applications. Focus is on substances of special environmental or health concern that can be detected by β€_x009c_solid stateβ€_x009d_ sensors, and on applications that are a bit off the beaten monitoring track, to get a feeling for the always widening domain of on-line and real-time water quality monitoring.
