Water quality measuring network

Detailed description

At nine measuring points along the Elbe, Bille, Alster, Wandse, Tarpenbek and Ammersbek rivers, various values in the water are automatically measured around the clock – for example, oxygen content, pH value, electrical conductivity, turbidity and temperature.



At particularly important locations—such as Bunthaus, Seemannshöft, and Blankenese on the Elbe, and at Fischerhof on the Bille and Wandse—a biological early warning system is also in operation. It can detect hazardous substances in the water at an early stage.



You can view the measured values online.
