Abstract
Apparatus () for sensing at least one parameter in water, which apparatus () comprises: (i) a conductivity sensor () for sensing conductivity in water; (ii) the conductivity sensor () is an electrode-based conductivity sensor having bare electrodes () which contact the water; (iii) there are at least four of the electrodes (); (iv) the conductivity sensor () is fabricated on a substrate () using photolithography and etching; (v) the conductivity sensor () is an open cell sensor having a physically unconstrained electric field; (vi) the conductivity sensor () is of a dot construction comprising a dot and a surrounding formation; (vii) the conductivity sensor () has two electrodes which are for current stimulation and which geometrically bound and enclose another two electrodes which are for voltage sensing; and (viii) the conductivity sensor () is a laminar construction on the substrate ().
