Scuba Diving: A Tool for Managing Water Quality
In the 40 years since the advent of scuba, few industries other than the offshore oil industry have taken advantage of its commercial possibilities. The drinking water industry's innate affinity to underwater observation has proved the worth of a scuba diving capability in Southern California. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has trained and used a group of scuba divers for the past several years in efforts to control water quality in its storage reservoirs. This article outlines the considerations that must be taken into account before such a program is implemented and describes several successful solutions to problems that have been mitigated as a direct result of Metropolitan's scuba diving program.
