This outstanding book will enable researchers to develop robust sensors and instruments for automatic "on site" measurement of water quality.

In Situ Monitoring of Aquatic Systems will be invaluable to both researchers interested in the development of environmental monitoring systems and laboratories in charge of water quality assessment by providing them with a critical evaluation of existing and possible future options.

In Situ Monitoring of Aquatic Systems:

• Critically Discusses the State of the Art of Existing Techniques and Devices
  
• Overviews What Can be Expected in Terms of Performance
  
• Outlines Possible Improvements in the Future
  
• And much more!
