Optical sensors: mobile water-quality sampling unit
Detailed Description
Photos of a USGS mobile water-quality sampling unit used in the optical sensor sewage detection study. The mobile sampling system allows for concurrent measurement of field parameters and raw water sample collection, and provides an efficient way to collect samples at many sites during critical runoff periods.

Using optical sensors to detect sewage contamination in the Great Lakes
In the Great Lakes, large volumes of sewage never make it to wastewater treatment plants due to illicit discharges and leaking sewer infrastructure, but contamination can be difficult to detect. This study will define the utility and practicality of using optical sensors to identify the sources and timing of sewage contamination in surface water and storm sewers in real-time field settings.
