  • Geomorphology
  • Water quality
  • Sediment quality
  • Primary producers (phytoplankton and periphyton)
  • Secondary producers (zooplankton and benthic invertebrates)

Through the analysis and collection of multiple variables, Rescan is able to offer a broad range of aquatic services in addition to those listed above, including:

  • Design, implementation & management of aquatic projects
  • Fertilization studies
  • BOD and SOD studies
  • Toxicity studies
