Abstract
A remote water quality monitoring arrangement, a distributed water quality monitoring system with said remote water quality monitoring arrangement, and a method for replacing or installing said remote water quality monitoring arrangement in said distributed water quality monitoring system are provided. The remote water quality monitoring arrangement may include a position detection device, for example a GPS-receiver (Global Positioning System), while a current location of said remote water quality monitoring arrangement is automatically detectable/detected. Water quality measurements, i.e., measurement data, of said remote water quality monitoring arrangement can automatically be assigned with the detected location facilitating a central server—receiving the measurements, i.e., measurement data, together with the detected location of the remote water quality monitoring arrangement—to automatically organize a replacement and/or a new installation of said remote water quality monitoring arrangement in said distributed water quality monitoring system.
