Virtual Reality: Water Quality Monitoring
Home

Introduction

Water takes a significant role to sustain lives on earth. However, natural activities, like volcanic eruptions or earthquakes, and human activities, like industrial waste disposal or discharge of sewage, can easily pollute our water environment. Water pollution may impose hazards to aquatic ecosystem and our daily lives.

In this VR scene, we are going to tell you why we need water quality monitoring. Then, two portable meters, Dissolved Oxygen Meter and Turbidity Meter, for monitoring water quality will be introduced. Afterwards, you are going to learn the preparation of these two meters before taking them out to conduct fieldwork.
