Project Background
The Mekong Delta in Vietnam is one of the most important agricultural and aquaculture regions in Southeast Asia. Rivers, canals and branch waterways are affected by seasonal rainfall, upstream flow changes, agricultural runoff and salinity intrusion from coastal areas.
For water management teams, occasional sampling is not enough to understand how the water body changes throughout the day or during the rainy season. Continuous monitoring of turbidity, COD, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen can help identify sediment disturbance, organic pollution, saltwater intrusion and abnormal discharge events.
Monitoring Challenge
In this type of river and canal environment, the water level may fluctuate, turbidity can change quickly after rainfall, and conductivity may rise when saline water moves inland. The monitoring system needs to operate continuously and provide stable data for long-term trend analysis.
YexSensor Recommended Solution
For Mekong Delta river monitoring, YexSensor recommends a multi-sensor configuration including COD, turbidity, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen sensors. The sensors can be installed on a fixed riverbank structure or integrated into a floating monitoring platform, depending on the site conditions.
All sensors support RS485 Modbus RTU output, making it convenient to connect the data to an existing monitoring station or IoT gateway.
Recommended Product Configuration
| Product Image | Model / Product Link | Configuration Role |
|---|---|---|
 | YEX-S1-ZS Online Turbidity Sensor | Monitors suspended sediment and rainfall runoff impact |
 | YEX-S1-COD COD Online Sensor | Tracks organic pollution changes in river water |
 | YEX-S1-EC Online Conductivity Sensor | Helps identify salinity intrusion or water source changes |
 | YEX-S1-PH Industrial Online pH Sensor | Monitors basic water chemistry changes |
 | YEX-S1-RDO Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor | Evaluates river ecological condition |
This configuration is suitable for river branches, agricultural canals and delta water monitoring points where sediment, organic pollution and conductivity changes are key concerns.
