Turquoise in the City: How dangerous is the color play of the Sa Riera?

Answer

How often do turquoise discharges occur at Sa Riera, and what measurements are used to assess them?

Usually the color change occurs after maintenance work in the stream bed, when the system is dried, cleaned, and saline water is discharged. The exact frequency isn’t specified, but this pattern is linked to those operations. To assess water quality, measurements like salt content, oxygen, nitrate/phosphate, conductivity, and temperature before and after discharges are used, and third-party monitoring is suggested for credibility.
