Bob, Are you interested in in-situ water quality monitoring in real-time? If that is the case, there are a host of instruments which can collect data and upload via satellite or cellular framework. For example, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyl-a, temperature, ORP, and some nitrogen species, although that becomes more difficult. But please check out the YSI, ATi, Hach, and many others who do this well. In the US, the US Geological Survey is the best at collecting real-time data from the field.
