The technology relates to an apparatus, methods and applications which take readings and samples in contaminated bodies of water at desired locations and depths. The apparatus is a remote control boat or similar apparatus that can travel on the surface, partially submersed or fully submersed. Onboard remote control instruments read pH, temperature, conductivity, salinity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate as well as algae and chlorophyll levels. It can also perform sludge blanket mapping and take water or sludge samples at different depths of the water column or at the bottom of the body of water. The data obtained permits to evaluate the health of a contaminated body of water to develop appropriate bioremediation procedures and monitor progress. The apparatus can also deliver the necessary bioremediation products. The danger for humans to navigate on contaminated waters is avoided with the remote control apparatus.
