I have been thinking for the last few weeks about real-time water quality monitoring conducted by private “watchdog” citizens in an area surrounding drilling. This wouldnt prevent catastrophe, but it would provide an early warning system.
It seems to me the least complicated & cheapest method would be to monitor the conductivity of the water. Higher conductivity means more dissolved solids in the water.

I am thinking if we can get the cost of these things down to 200-300, who wouldn’t put one in their well for
Their own peace of mind .

In my research, I came across this interesting piece of equipment.

TDS/conductivity meter: (I am posting

The only question as yet unanswered: does it alarm when TDS crosses a threshold.
