UK National Water Quality Instrumentation Service
The Environment Agency's National Water Quality Instrumentation Service are being so helpful with CHASM's water quality monitoring at West Pole and within Chichester Harbour by making sure it is as efficient and effective as possible. Set up in 2011, here is a little more information about the service:
'The Environment Agency (EA) of England and Wales has created a National Water Quality Instrumentation Service (NWQIS) to improve the quality and efficiency of water quality monitoring in England and Wales. The new service is part of the National Laboratory Service and will fulfil the field monitoring requirements of the EA. However, it will also be available to other Public and Private sector organisations.'
