OUR EXPERTISE
« Protecting water resources is our profession »
TRAQUA combines the development of innovative technology with expertise in hydrogeology to provide targeted solutions to problems related to (ground, surface, distribution, waste) water flows.
We implement tailored in-situ monitoring based on a preliminary analysis of the situation with high temporal and spatial resolution. The continuous sampling of data such as fluorescence, turbidity, and water temperature provides useful information about your problem to obtain a detailed analysis, scientific diagnosis, and resolution.
TRAQUA can provide unique technology and expertise for a range of applications related to hydraulic connectivity, flow and groundwater characterization, the vulnerability of water resources, water quality monitoring, and much more.
In-situ dye tracing and long term monitoring, complementary methods for a cutting-edge analysis
Dye tracing using harmless fluorescent tracers makes it possible to identify and characterize the water flow in various contexts: natural underground flows, urban drainage networks, infiltration, connectivity between water bodies, contamination, etc.
The use of in-situ STREAM® fluorometers allows a direct and precise measurement, without the requirement for additional analysis, of the presence and concentration of our tracers. The use of our instruments considerably facilitates logistics and provides faster and more reliable results.
Because of the high sensitivity of these field fluorometers and the low detection limit of a few hundredths ppb (1ppb = 1 µg/liter), only a very low amount of tracer is required. The possibility to use UV tracers limits the visual impact of dye tracing on sensitive sites.

Additionally, the use of automatic instruments considerably increases the temporal resolution of the measurements (up to 1 measurement per minute), to provide extremely precise and detailed data for the diagnosis of a problem.
Our strength lies in the ability to rapidly deploy a vast monitoring network with autonomous and compact fluorometers. This makes it possible to respond quickly and accurately to a large number of flow problems through the monitoring of the natural parameters or by means of dye tracing test.
