Students on an Environmental Health Monitoring course are the first in the country to use a new rapid automated microbiology detection system to monitor water quality.

Calibrating the system using a bowl of clean water. There is no single parameter that determines the quality of a water sample, so the pollution monitor has no less than five different sensors.

The proposal to use satellite data to manage Australia's costal and inland waterbodies is part of the CSIRO's plan to develop and roll out a national quality monitoring system.

The water quality meters that they are putting to use are typically set up in remote locations, without power, and are targeting natural bodies of water and also wastewater treatment plants.
