Providing continuous and reliable in-person and remote water quality monitoring to communities.
Cova knows the importance of water quality. It is why we offer testing analysis to the rural communities that we serve. The results of the water quality serve as a roadmap for our technicians to take action to treat, protect, and make recommendations to ensure community drinking water is safe for consumption. Cova offers in-the-field, laboratory, and sensor-based water quality monitoring services to rural communities throughout Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador.
