In 2018, a fully automated, real-time water ecological quality monitoring system was deployed on Taihu Lake. With high integration and compact size, it can be installed on boats. The system covers essential water quality parameters including water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, ammonia nitrogen, turbidity, cyanobacteria, chlorophyll, COD, BTX compounds (benzene, toluene, xylene), TOC, NO3, fingerprinting, and spectral alarms.
