The overall methodology which was applied for the realization of the project concerning the monitoring of the chemical quality of irrigation water bodies (surface and groundwater) was based on protocols, methods and techniques developed over the years by the scientific personnel of the Pesticide Science Laboratory of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and on widely accepted methods published in international scientific journals.
In the final report of the project which was submitted to the Hellenic Ministry of Rural Development and Food an entire chapter was devoted to the detailed description of the Methodologies including also the approaches applied for the realization of the project such as:
the selection and description of the Stationary Sampling Sites (SSS) established for the monitoring of water chemical quality of the rivers, lakes, soil drainage canals and groundwater irrigation wells, the criteria exercised for the selection of these SSS, the total number of SSS established on each aquatic body as well the frequency of either water or sediment sampling.
the methods and/or protocols used for the in situ measurements (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen content and % oxygen saturation, Redox, conductivity, concentration of total dissolved solids and Secchi disk and depth measurements for lakes) and the analysis of anions, cations including heavy metals (total and soluble forms), ammonium salts, total phosphorus content, Boron, alkalinity, hardness, pollution indicators such as BOD5, COD, chlorophyll content and evalution of the ecological quality using a test based on Vibrio fischeri and pesticide residue determinations.

The methods applied for the analysis of pesticide residues (parent compounds and important metabolites and/or degradation products), caffeine and other organic pollutants monitored in both aqueous and sediment samples were based on Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometric and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometric (LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS) techniques.
