WATER

QUALITY
TESTING
Presented by Group 6
BACKGROU
Water canND
be used for recreation, drinking, fisheries,
agriculture or industry. Each of these designated uses has
different defined chemical, physical and biological standards
necessary to fulfil the respective purpose. For example, there
are stringent standards for water to be used for drinking or
swimming compared to that used in agriculture or industry.

After many years of research, water quality standards are put


in place to ensure the suitability of efficient use of water for a
designated purpose. Water quality analysis is to measure the
required parameters of water, following standard methods, to
check whether they are in accordance with the standard.
WHY WATER QUALITY
ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED?
Water quality analysis is required mainly for monitoring purpose. Some
importance of such assessment includes:

• To check whether the water quality is in compliance with the standards,


and hence, suitable or not for the designated use.
• To monitor the efficiency of a system, working for water quality
maintenance.
• To check whether upgradation / change of an existing system is
required and to decide what changes should take place.

• To monitor whether water quality is in compliance with rules and


regulations.
Research titles that necessitate water quality testing
could include:
"Assessment of heavy metal contamination in surface
water bodies following industrial activity"
"Impact of agricultural runoff on groundwater quality in a
coastal region"
"Microbial analysis of drinking water sources in rural
communities" "Evaluation of water treatment methods for
removal of emerging contaminants"
"Temporal variations in water quality parameters of a river
ecosystem"
"Ecological effects of nutrient loading on algal blooms in a
freshwater reservoir"
SELECTION OF
METHODS
Selection of Methods The methods of water
quality analysis are selected according to the
requirement. The factors playing key role for
the selection of methods are:
(i) Volume and number of sample to be
analyzed
(ii) Cost of analysis
(iii) Precision required
(iv) Promptness of the analysis as required
SELECTION OF
PARAMETERS
The parameters of water quality are selected entirely
according to the need for a specific use of that water.
Some examples are:
Drinking: As per WHO/CPCB Standards
Irrigation: pH Conductivity Sodium & Potassium
Nutrients Specific compounds
Industries: As per specific requirement Domestic
Consumption: As per BIS Standards
Water Bodies: As per CPCB guidelines

CONCLUSI
ON
Assessment of water quality is essential to check the
suitability of a water source for the designated use. Several
water quality parameters are assessed and compared with
their standard values to determine the acceptability of the
water to be used. After prolonged research, the procedures
for the assessment of the water have been standardized. In
this article such guidelines are discussed concisely in one
place for the convenience of the researchers and analysts.
Thus, it may be helpful for them to get an overview of the
water quality assessment standards and procedures.
