HYDROSURVEYS operate a
range of instruments for flow metering, water quality testing,
plume monitoring and temperature profiling. We have experience in the installation and maintenence of fixed metering devices and data-recording equipment for water quality and hydrological investigations.
Typical projects have included:
- Flow, tide and current monitoring in
rivers & estuaries
- Tidal and fluvial influences on water quality
- Drainage flow monitoring and problem diagnosis
- Effluent plume dispersion and dilution monitoring
- Source mapping of groundwater pollutants

Monitoring of in-river engineering works
We have undertaken long term studies on the effects of suspended sediments on tidal water quality
and dissolved oxygen in the River Towy in S Wales, the R Lune in Lancashire and the Yorkshire Ouse. The studies have monitored the
impacts of discharges, river re-alignment and engineering schemes on water quality, sediment
transport and channel bathymetry.
These studies have involved the maintainance of instruments in estuarine and offshore locations for numerical modelling
of fluvial and coastal processes, wave and tide activity, suspended solids and current velocity.

Deployment of a multi-parameter data sonde
Our Services can be individually tailored for low
cost 'snapshot' surveys or for fixed, long term installations to assess
the extent of daily, seasonal or tidal variation.

and 14 day lunar cycles.
