Pollution source screening
What problem is Fondation Rivières trying to solve?
Discharges of contaminants from agricultural, industrial, municipal and residential sources can have a significant negative impact on the aquatic environment and water use.
Among these, fecal coliform and phosphorus concentrations are the parameters whose water quality indices often exceed regulatory standards.
Our screening services
- Identify potential sources of contamination
- Identify the contaminated sections and thus locate the sources of pollution
- Take water samples with the possibility of using a device to interpret the results quickly (15 minutes).
- Quantify contamination fluctuations
Deliverables
- Mapping of confirmed and potential sources of contamination
- Analysis of municipal sewer flow patterns
- In-depth evaluation of the origin of the contamination
Our method
