Water quality monitoring is carried out for a number of reasons. Businesses with environmental licences are required to monitor discharges to water or in the receiving environments to demonstrate compliance with licence conditions. Government departments and research organisations monitor water to understand how activities in a catchment affect water quality. To inform water quality models, to detect trends in water quality or events.

Company size and reputation provide a strategic business edge (economies of scale, of marketing costs through proven branding, etc.) And yet, the business world graveyard is crammed with large, respected, oft-beloved companies who failed to innovate. In fact, 88% of the Fortune 500 companies that qualified in 1955 do not anymore, or ceased to exist.
