Customer challenge
The Butoniga Reservoir supplies over 7 million m³ of potable water annually, mostly in summer. To ensure high quality, the team must select the right lake layer. Surface water gets too warm, while deeper layers are cooler but contain sludge. The challenge is to meet legal temperature limits while minimizing sludge intake to ensure consistently clean drinking water.
Our solution
David and his team rely on Memosens Wave CAS80E for fast, multi-parameter water analysis from the optimal lake layer. The UV-Vis spectrometer enables precise monitoring of turbidity, nitrate, TOC, BOD, and COD in one sensor. Endress+Hauser supports with installation and expertise, ensuring efficient operation and improved water quality insight.
