This paper deals with the usage of e-tongue devices (or taste sensors) as an innovative approach to the characterization and real time monitoring of groundwater. The wide interest gained by wet-chemical sensor systems capable of providing an overall quality index of generic liquids, has spawned many applications in many fields in recent years. This work has been conducted in the framework of research for innovative monitoring technologies for the assessment of water quality and for the fast characterisation of surface and ground water.An introductory explanation of the measurement principle is given in this paper; practical examples derived from various experiments regarding pollution detection and water classification are also presented.

Abstract
This paper deals with the usage of e-tongue devices (or taste sensors) as an innovative approach to the characterization and real time monitoring of groundwater. The wide interest gained by wet-chemical sensor systems capable of providing an overall quality index of generic liquids, has spawned many applications in many fields in recent years. This work has been conducted in the framework of research for innovative monitoring technologies for the assessment of water quality and for the fast characterisation of surface and ground water.An introductory explanation of the measurement principle is given in this paper; practical examples derived from various experiments regarding pollution detection and water classification are also presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
