- Water discharge rate in water level in watercourses and lakes
- Water samples and accredited measurement and laboratory analysis of environmental parameters, e.g. temperature, salinity, N- and P- nutrients, and phytoplankton
- Sediment testing and analysis of particulate organic carbon and nitrogen
- Analysis of turbidity/cloudiness
- Depth measurements/seabed mapping via echo sounding
