Recent hydrometeorological extreme events have highlighted the increased exposure and vulnerability of societies and the need to strengthen the knowledge-base of related policies.

Part of the Water Quality Measurement series, this text focuses on chemical marine monitoring, highlighting policy frameworks and analytical trends with an emphasis on laboratory methods and laboratory quality control.

The issue of water quality monitoring is becoming a huge area as the EU requirements for cleaner water increase. On-line monitoring involves measuring a body of water constantly and in-situ as opposed to analysing samples in the lab.

The Water Framework Directive imposes wide scale monitoring programs for all waters to achieve "good status" objectives by 2015.

Drinking water policies and research are intimately linked. It is thanks to the scientific progress made over the last 25 years in identifying and controlling toxic products in drinking water that regulations have developed in such a way that the protection of public health from waterborne diseases has drastically improved.
