Existing methods for measuring algae via chlorophyll concentration in waterways are simple and commonly used to indicate possible water pollution.

Key Points: 
  • Existing methods for measuring algae via chlorophyll concentration in waterways are simple and commonly used to indicate possible water pollution.
  • But from where the algae came and when has remained something of a mystery.
  • A rise in chlorophyll concentration could simply be the result of heavy stormflow dragging algae from the riverbed and into the water column.
  • Weve demonstrated for the first time a method to identify the sources of algae using the existing sensor technology.
