Water analysis is an essential component of environmental research and safeguarding. The four main pillars of water security are the accessibility of drinking water, the preservation of ecosystems, resilience against water-related climate hazards, and adequate water supplies for economic prosperity. These pillars can only be reinforced with precise, quantitative data on the health and sustainability of our water sources. This is doubtless a challenge, especially with conventional bench chemistry systems and batch-mixed analytical standards. The needs of modern environmental analysis require more proactive tools that are fully-compliant with recognised testing methods. Discrete analyzers are ideal for modern water quality testing, but only when coupled with SI traceable discrete water standards.
