Physical Parameters
Physical parameters include temperature, turbidity, color, and odor. These parameters can affect the taste, appearance, and overall acceptability of water. Water quality services help monitor and manage these parameters to ensure optimal water quality.
Chemical Parameters
Chemical parameters encompass elements and compounds such as dissolved oxygen, pH, hardness, and various pollutants like heavy metals, pesticides, and organic compounds. These parameters can impact the safety and usability of water. Water quality services help identify and address chemical issues in water sources.
Biological Parameters
Biological parameters include the presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. These microorganisms can pose a threat to human health if present in drinking water. Water quality services help detect and eliminate harmful microorganisms to ensure water safety.
Technologies and Techniques Used
Sampling and Laboratory Analysis
Water quality service providers use various sampling techniques to collect representative water samples from different sources. These samples are then analyzed in a laboratory using advanced equipment and methods, such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and microbiological testing.
Online Monitoring Systems
Online monitoring systems are automated devices that continuously measure water quality parameters in real-time. These systems can help detect changes in water quality quickly, enabling rapid response to any issues that may arise.
Advanced Treatment Technologies
Water quality service providers employ advanced treatment technologies to address water quality issues. These technologies may include reverse osmosis, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, ozonation, and advanced oxidation processes, among others.
