Table 3.4        Water Quality Monitoring Parameters and Frequency

 

Parameters, unit

Depth

Frequency

In-situ Parameters:

¡¤         Temperature

¡¤         pH

¡¤         Water depth

¡¤         DO, mg/L

¡¤         DO Saturation, %

¡¤         Salinity, ppt

¡¤         Turbidity, NTU

¡¤      3 water depths: 1m below water surface, mid-depth and 1m above sea bed.

¡¤      If the water depth is less than 3m, mid-depth sampling only.

¡¤      If the water depth is between 3-6m, omit mid-depth sampling.

¡¤      Baseline monitoring: once per month for 3 consecutive  months

Laboratory Testing Parameters:

 

¡¤         E. coli, cfu/100ml
