2. TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme 1998 - 2002 ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THE PERMANENT OBSERVATORY OF WATER BODIES THE PERMANENT OBSERVATORY OF WATER BODIES was instituted in 1995 by the regional law n° 43. THE PERMANENT OBSERVATORY OF WATER BODIES THE PERMANENT OBSERVATORY OF WATER BODIES is aimed at monitoring the quality of water bodies of rivers and groundwater as well as meteorological parameters. THE PERMANENT OBSERVATORY OF WATER BODIES Actually THE PERMANENT OBSERVATORY OF WATER BODIES includes 25 monitoring stations which cover the whole regional territory. 2nd - 3rd October 2003: SECOND TRANSCAT MEETING

4. TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme 1998 - 2002 ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2nd - 3rd October 2003: SECOND TRANSCAT MEETING MONITORING STATIONS differ in the sets of sensors they have. We can distinguish three modules: 1. Modules for the monitoring of surface water quality; 2. Modules for the monitoring of groundwater quality; 3. Modules for the monitoring of meteorological parameters. The biggest part of the MONITORING STATIONS are the combination of 2 or 3 of the over mentioned modules.
