Note:
The NLWKN Water Quality App is expected to be deactivated soon. Current water quality data can be accessed on the following NLWKN information portal:

https://www.gewaessergueteonline.nlwkn.niedersachsen.de

The app displays current water quality data such as electrical conductivity, pH, oxygen content, and water temperature from the water quality measuring stations of Lower Saxony's rivers. Air temperature is also provided as a meteorological parameter, and turbidity is also recorded at some stations. The data is generally updated hourly.

The NLWKN (Lower Saxony State Office for Water Management, Coastal Protection, and Nature Conservation) operates numerous continuously monitored water quality measuring stations in Lower Saxony on rivers in the Weser, Elbe, and Ems catchment areas, as well as on the coastal tributaries to the North Sea. The purpose of recording various parameters is to register exceptional hydrological or meteorological conditions, as well as accidents, as quickly as possible. Such events can pose a threat to water use and aquatic communities, requiring rapid response to initiate countermeasures or secure evidence.

With the official Water Quality App, you can now find information about the current water quality situation in Lower Saxony's rivers on the go, whether at home or on the go.

As a user, find water quality measuring stations on rivers near you with the integrated proximity search and the innovative map overview.

The detailed graphics show the temporal development of various water quality parameters from daily curves to annual overviews. This allows you to identify, for example, the influence of special meteorological events such as dry periods or heavy rainfall on water quality.

The successful design and ease of use make this app the number one reference for water quality measuring station apps.

Features:

● Current water quality data for important rivers in Lower Saxony
● Local search and innovative map overview
● Detailed view with information on the water quality measuring station
● Detailed daily, weekly, monthly, and annual overview of the temporal development of the corresponding parameter in a clear graphic

Please note:

When opening the application (even from the background), an internet connection is required to load the current data.

The timeliness of the data depends on the NLWKN database; therefore, no guarantee can be given that the data is complete and correct.
