Water Quality Testing

Water quality testing is a process used to determine the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water. This is crucial for ensuring that water meets safety standards and is suitable for its intended use, whether for drinking, recreation, or industrial purposes. Here’s a detailed description of the different aspects of water quality testing:

  • Color: Measures the color of the water, which can be affected by the presence of dissolved organic material, iron, or other substances.
  • Turbidity: Assesses the clarity of water by measuring the extent to which light is scattered or absorbed. High turbidity can indicate the presence of suspended particles.
  • Temperature: Records the water temperature, which affects the solubility of gases and the rate of chemical reactions.
  • Odor and Taste: Evaluates any unpleasant smells or tastes that could indicate contamination.
