Water is essential for many processes on Earth, but the ever-growing population, industry and climate change are putting increasing pressure on the water supply. In addition, the presence of water alone is not enough – it must also be clean. We offer solutions for water sampling, analysis and monitoring, of both water quality and quantity.

Clean fresh water is becoming one of the most valuable resources on this planet. We like to call it 'liquid gold'. Groundwater levels are lowering and what remains is at risk of contamination by chemicals or salt water intrusion. That's why Royal Eijkelkamp has been committed to the development and delivery of various solutions for water management for years.
From sampling to analysis, and from spot-checking to monitoring, our product portfolio contains various products and services that help you gain insight in the most important water parameters and more. In addition, we are continuously developing new innovations that meet the new challenges that arise. Feel free to contact our team at sales@eijkelkamp.com to discuss your water challenges and discover if we offer the right solution.
For continuous insight into various water parameters, you can opt for monitoring: combine smart sensors with a modem and data portal to view your data 24/7.
ROAK is our own data platform, designed to offer flexibility, validation and even AI integration.
Measuring water quality starts with determining the question for information. When investigating pollution, for example, concentrations of dissolved oxygen, nitrate, ammonium, bromide, chlorophyll-a and blue-green algae can be measured.
More specifically, the presence of tryptophan, CDOM/FDOM and oil indicates that faeces and organic substances are present in the water and thus sewer overflow or industrial discharge is taking place.
Measurements of the acidity (pH) and electrical conductivity of the water are almost always an issue in water quality research.
Finally, turbidity is an indicator of the presence of solids in the water. Turbid water affects the oxygen content and the amount of sunlight that can penetrate into the sediment, affecting both the plants and animals that live in the water.
For insight into the actual water quality, measuring one or more parameters is usually sufficient. For monitoring and signaling developments, it is necessary to measure for a longer period of time and to use various sensors connected to a modem and data network.
Measuring water discharge is also important for drawing up the hydrological water balance in a certain area. The flow rate is an indication for, for example, the discharge of drainage systems and irrigation canals, but also the flow rate in waterways. For this we supply various instruments that can take accurate measurements, made of materials that can withstand various conditions.
Royal Eijkelkamp has extensive experience in measuring water quality for various applications and under various circumstances. Through a combination of experience and product knowledge, we are happy to help you select the right measuring instruments for your question.
