This paper investigates the quantitative relationships between water color indices and concentrations of optically active constituents using a low-cost digital camera colorimetry setup. The study found that concentration shows an ascending relationship with xy chromaticity values and a descending relationship with hue angle, thereby increasing the information content of simple water color observations by relating them to chemical constituent concentrations in observed waters.
Developments in digital image acquisition technologies and citizen science lead to more water color observations and broader public participation in environmental monitoring. However, the implications of the use of these simple water color indices for water quality assessment have not yet been fully evaluated. In this paper, we build a low-cost digital camera colorimetry setup to investigate quantitative relationships between water color indices and concentrations of optically active constituents (OACs). As proxies for colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and phytoplankton, humic acid and algae pigments were used to investigate the relationship between water chromaticity and concentration. We found that the concentration fits an ascending relationship with xy chromaticity values and a descending relationship with hue angle. Our investigations permitted us to increase the information content of simple water color observations, by relating them to chemical constituent concentrations in observed waters.
