Application: surface/bathing water monitoring (Denmark)

Case History: by Ampi Bac, Denmark

In order to find the possible fecal sources to the sporadic high concentrations of bacteria, the municipality of Hjørring (DK) has set up a BACTcontrol in the ditch to monitor the E.coli levels.

For this purpose the BACTcontrol is built into a movable trailer and powered by solar panels. This allows the BACTcontrol to run continuously (6 samples per day) for 7-14 days depending on the sunlight concentration.
