Water Quality Analysis
Water quality analysis is the process of testing water for different elements, such as pH level and dissolved oxygen content. Water quality analysis can be performed by a professional, or it can be done by homeowners who have access to the right equipment.
Water quality analysis is important for both environmental health and human health. For example, in order to maintain safe drinking water standards, governments around the world require that their citizens’ drinking water be tested regularly for contaminants such as bacteria, lead, and pesticides.
The parameters measured will vary depending on the desired use of the water. The water may be intended for drinking, recreation, irrigation, industrial use or as a waste disposal medium.
The range of parameters that may be measured include:
- pH (acidity)
- Temperature
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
- Turbidity (cloudiness)
- Chemical oxygen demand (COD) (how much oxygen it takes to oxidate organic matter in the water).
Water quality analysis is an important part of water treatment, as it allows us to understand the chemical composition of our water supply and use that information to treat our water in a way that will preserve its quality and make it safe for drinking.
There are two common types of water quality analysis: physical testing and chemical testing. Physical testing involves looking at how water behaves under various conditions, such as temperature or pressure. Chemical testing involves measuring the concentrations of various substances in the water.
- PH testing (which measures how acidic or basic something is)
- Turbidity testing (which measures cloudiness)
- Colorimetric tests (which measure colors)
- Conductivity tests (which measure electrical conductivity)
