Abstract: Turbidity is a key water quality parameter, used to indicate the level of suspended solids in aquatic systems. The cost of data collection, however, often hinders high temporal and spatial measurement resolution of turbidity measurement. These last years have seen the (r) evolution of monitoring, where technological advances can support the development of innovative monitoring systems, offering lower costs, miniaturization, real-time access to data, modularity, connectedness (Internet of Things) and open-source programming. This innovative monitoring needs, however, to be compatible with the research goals and provide valid and reliable data. This paper focuses on the adaptation of a very low-cost sensor used in industry for sediment monitoring in rivers. The aim is to shed light on the problems encountered by researchers while developing these sensors and propose solutions to these problems.
