USGS has record success with using optical turbidity sensors predict suspended-sediment concentrations in rivers streams. Turbidity collect backscatter signals from suspended particles water, which can be accurately measured linked closely hazardous contaminants that travel on the surfaces particles. Contaminant derived statistical relations between like copper lead then real-time.
