FAQ

Common Questions About Drone Water Quality Assessment

Everything you need to know about our managed water quality monitoring service

Drones can measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll-a (algae), blue-green algae, oil sheens, and thermal pollution. Advanced sensors detect nutrients (nitrogen/phosphorus), conductivity, and can collect samples for laboratory analysis.

Specialized drones use automated sampling devices that can collect water at specific GPS locations and depths up to 3m. Samples are stored in sterile containers and delivered to accredited laboratories within required timeframes for accurate analysis.

We partner with UKAS-accredited laboratories for comprehensive analysis including bacteria (E.coli, coliforms), heavy metals, pesticides, and nutrients. Results are typically available within 48-72 hours and include full compliance reporting.

Emergency response teams can deploy within 2-4 hours for urgent incidents. Rapid assessment using thermal and multispectral imaging can identify pollution sources and extent immediately, with detailed reports within 24 hours.

Yes. Multispectral sensors detect chlorophyll-a concentrations and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in real-time. We can map bloom extent, predict movement, and provide early warning systems for water treatment facilities.

Our reports are designed to support regulatory submissions. Reports include methodology, QA/QC procedures, chain of custody documentation.
