The case study demonstrates the benefit of this technology with recent advances in understanding and technological capability. Using the new sensor, developed by our technology partner <a href=\"https:\/\/chelsea.co.uk\/\">Chelsea Technologies Ltd.<\/a>, the team were able to identify a blackwater contamination event in the Hooghly River (Ganga) in Kolkata, India. The team also conclude that the use of this technology would provide information regarding biological water quality <em>in situ <\/em>and in real-time, important information which is often missing from our current monitoring practices due limited to time consuming and expensive sampling surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This paper is an output from the <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/wqTEST\/\">NERC-DST India-UK Water Quality<\/a> project which focused on the development and implementation of technologies for improved water quality.
