Parameters of water• Turbidity / Transparency• Color• Acidity • Temperature• Dissolved oxygen content• Nutrients• Presence of fecal coliform bacteria
• Ammonia• Toxic metals
Forel-Uil scale• 1 - 5 Indigo blue to greenish blue
• Low nutrient levels, low biomass, phytoplankton
• 6-9 Greenish blue to bluish green• Algae + dissovled matter & sediment• Typical near open sea
• 10 - 13 Greenish• Coastal water with increased nutrients & algae• Contains minerals and dissolved organic material
• 14 - 17 Greenish brown to brownish green• High nutrient and algae concentrations• Typical near-shore
• 18 - 21 Brownish green to cola brown• Extremely high acid concentration, typical for rivers
• Affects water chemistry and aquatic life
• Can be caused by power plants or industrial manufacturers using water as a coolant.
Temperature
• Amount of oxygen available for aquatic life to breathe
• Can be affected by water temperature, flow rate, or presence of pollution.
Oxygen
• Needed for healthy water life
• Can be harmful if they exceed a certain concentration.
• For example, excessive nitrogen or phosphorous can indicate pollution from fertilizer runoff.
Nutrients
• From failing septic systems, inadequately managed animal waste, or inadequately treated sewage
• Indicator of bacterial presence• poses a threat to human health.
• Ammonia can also be present due to water polluted with domestic sewage.

CCD array
• 400 nm to 900 nm target wavelength range
• d = grating 0.001 mm / line• lambda = wavelength• phi = diffraction angle• m = order of diffraction = 1
• 400 nm: phi = 23.58 degrees• 900 nm phi = 64.16 degrees
