Assessment of Water Quality in Vlora Bay by Measuring Physico-Chemical Parameters

Seawater is an important component of coastal waters, with a wide variety of physical and chemical parameters that play a key role in understanding coastal dynamics and monitoring environmental health. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the most important physicochemical parameters in seawater, with a particular focus on their importance in coastal areas. Physical parameters studied include temperature, redox potential, electrical conductivity, dissolved solids, and water hardness which have a strong influence on environmental and hydrodynamic processes in coastal areas. Chemical parameters include various components such as dissolved oxygen, chloride ions, and pH, which are very important for the assessment of the environmental quality and health of coastal waters. This article highlights the vital need to understand the physical and chemical parameters of seawater, especially in coastal areas. Accurate measurement and ongoing monitoring of these parameters offer insights into water quality and help implement sustainable management practices. Our consistent measurements confirm excellent water quality, underlining the importance of these efforts in conserving coastal ecosystems for future generations.
