Hydrology Laboratory
EQUIPMENT
The equipment is distributed among these three locations, depending on its intended use:
- Rabanales Campus Laboratory
- For the determination of physical-chemical parameters of water and soils we have the following instrumentation:
- High resolution liquid chromatograph with several detectors allows the determination of anions, cations and organic compounds.
- UV-Visible Spectrophotometer.
- pH, conductivity and ion selective electrodes.
- Turbidimeter
- Infiltrometers
- Pressure plates
- Humidity meters
- Stoves
- Thermometers
- Particle size analyzers
- Analytical balances
- The instrumentation for water quality data collection in field campaigns includes:
- Multiparameter probes for measuring turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, conductivity, redox potential and concentration of some nutrients.
- Flow meters.
- Multimeters to determine pH, temperature, conductivity and estimate the amount of total dissolved solids present in the samples.
- For the determination of physical-chemical parameters of water and soils we have the following instrumentation:
- Guadalfeo network and other instruments installed in the field:
- 4 Campbell Scientific weather stations remotely accessible by modem.
- Autosampler in the main channel of the Guadalfeo river for the determination of suspended solids.
- Several cameras to collect images on the evolution of the snow cover.
