Seawater Quality Measurements at the Two Ports of Patras, Greece
A monitoring program of seawater quality was conducted during the October 2013–June 2016 period at the port city of Patras. A total of fourteen sampling campaigns were conducted. Eleven sampling sites were selected at the Southern New Port and at the Northern Old Port of Patras, namely at the discha...

| description | A monitoring program of seawater quality was conducted during the October 2013–June 2016 period at the port city of Patras. A total of fourteen sampling campaigns were conducted. Eleven sampling sites were selected at the Southern New Port and at the Northern Old Port of Patras, namely at the discharge point of the south outlet of the collecting storm water conduit and at the two river mouths discharging at both sides of the Southern New Port, to evaluate the contribution of surface runoff and harbor activities on seawater pollution. At each site, water quality parameters were determined in situ, and water samples were transferred and analyzed at the laboratory. Taking into consideration the whole set of measurements, it can be concluded that the seawater quality of the two ports is satisfactory in comparison to other coastal zones in the area around Patras and other ports. |
