Shows the importance of testing for different types of contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals, and the methods used to detect and measure these contaminants.
Water quality testing is essential for ensuring that drinking water is safe for human consumption. Testing can identify contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals that can cause illness or other health problems.
There are several methods for testing water quality, including laboratory-based tests and field-based tests. Laboratory-based tests are more accurate but can be expensive and time-consuming, while field-based tests are faster and more affordable but may be less accurate
Regular water quality testing is important for identifying and addressing potential problems with water sources and distribution systems. Testing should be done at multiple points in the water system, including at the source, treatment plant, and distribution network.
