Benchmarks for water quality measurement stations

The measuring station is the place located on a hydrographic entity (rivers, lakes, canals ...), on which measurements or samples are made for physico-chemical, microbiological analyses ..., in order to determine the quality of aquatic environments at this place. It is a volume in which it is possible to make measurements at different points deemed consistent and representative of the station.
