As part of the overall enhancement of its environmental data collecting capabilities, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has installed a water quality monitoring system at Bartica, Region Seven.
In a release on Tuesday, the EPA announced that in mid-May, it had successfully deployed a second Real Time Water Quality Monitoring System (RTWQMS), at Bartica, on the Esse-quibo River. It explained that this cutting-edge technology is capable of measuring a range of water quality parameters and transmitting readings in real-time to a computer at the EPA for storage and analysis. Data collected by the monitoring system can also be visualized through web-based platforms/applications and be viewed and analyzed by the public in the real-time.
