Townsville, QLD monitors blue-green algae levels in its water supply with YSI sensors

Townsville, QLD YSI Sensors Blue-Green Algae Levels

YSI sensors were placed on two buoys at the Ross River Dam. Each sensor gathers information on algae concentration, water temperature, and pH levels in untreated water. Local officials receive daily updates from the sensors compared to weekly updates under the previous manual-testing process. Townsville quickly mobilizes treatment options like powdered activated carbon (PAC) based on sensor data, thus preventing toxins from entering the potable water supply.
