Surface Water Monitoring

Surface Water Monitoring on Construction Sites

Construction activities can generate silt and sediment that may enter surface-water drainage systems and surrounding watercourses. Appropriate monitoring at designated monitoring points forms an important part of effective Construction Surface Water Management Plans.

Turbidity Monitoring

What is turbidity?

Turbidity describes the cloudiness or lack of clarity of water caused by suspended particles. Construction activities can disturb soil and other materials, potentially increasing sediment in surface-water runoff.

A turbidity tube provides a visual method of assessing the clarity of a water sample. As the water becomes more turbid, the marker at the base becomes less visible — giving a straightforward reading that can be recorded as part of the site’s monitoring process.
