Tuesday, March 16, 2022 from 3-4 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sensors are playing an increasingly important role in the monitoring of water quality. EPA\u2019s Office of Research and Development has several efforts aimed at the development and use of sensors\u2014an easily accessible summary of many of these efforts can be found on ORD\u2019s Water Sensors Toolbox webpage<\/a>. While many of these efforts are research focused, some of these projects are directly relevant to states and territories. One such effort is the Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAN) application<\/a>, which provides satellite data to monitor and quantify cyanobacterial biomass for over 2,000 of the largest lakes and reservoirs across the United States. A second significant effort is the development of case studies to evaluate the potential for using sensors to monitor source water quality with regard to nutrients, algae, and disinfectant byproducts and provide data to water utilities for help with decision making. Preliminary results from ongoing studies in North Carolina and Ohio will be described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
