Analysis of new technologies and inspection techniques - issue 3: surface waters

Commissioned by Brussels Environment, BovaEnviro+ went in search of innovative inspection technologies and techniques to assist environmental monitoring officers, or inspectors, in carrying out their inspections. The report includes: an inventory of the information and concerns of the inspectors regarding the project; an overview of the technologies and techniques used in Belgium - outside Brussels - and in other European countries (France, the Netherlands and Germany); an assessment of the advantages/disadvantages (limitations) of the selected technologies and techniques; and an overview of the costs of the technologies and techniques and an inventory of potential suppliers. The study was split into three issues: - issue 1: air quality, climate and emissions of air pollutants ; - issue 2: noise and vibration ; - issue 3: surface waters.
