Automatic profilers for measuring water quality in reservoirs

In summer, high temperatures heat the surface layer and alter the quality of the water in the upper layers, causing stratification of the water in reservoirs and resulting in different water quality at different depths.

There are times of the year, such as winter, when the quality and temperature of the water is practically the same, regardless of depth; but in summer, when temperatures rise, the surface layer heats up more, causing changing physical and chemical conditions that mean the water quality is not the same at the surface as it is at the bottom.

Knowing the conditions of natural water at different depths is extremely important.
