2. Water quality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality

   Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water based on the standards of its usage. [1] [2] It is most frequently used by reference to a set of standards against which compliance, generally achieved through treatment of the water, can be assessed. The most common standards used to monitor and assess ...

3. Water testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_testing

   Water testing being conducted at a treatment facility in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Water testing is a broad description for various procedures used to analyze water quality. Millions of water quality tests are carried out daily to fulfill regulatory requirements and to maintain safety. [1] Testing may be performed to evaluate:

4. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

   Water chemistry analysis is often the groundwork of studies of water quality, pollution, hydrology and geothermal waters. Analytical methods routinely used can detect and measure all the natural elements and their inorganic compounds and a very wide range of organic chemical species using methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry .

5. Freshwater environmental quality parameters - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_environmental...

   Freshwater environmental quality parameters are those chemical, physical and biological parameters that can be used to characterise a freshwater body. Because almost all water bodies are dynamic in their composition, the relevant quality parameters are typically expressed as a range of expected concentrations.

6. Turbidity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity

   Turbid creek water caused by heavy rains. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of both water clarity and water quality. [citation needed] There are two standard units for reporting turbidity: Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU) from ISO 7027 and Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) from USEPA Method 180.1.

7. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_suspended_solids

   TSS of a water or wastewater sample is determined by pouring a carefully measured volume of water (typically one litre; but less if the particulate density is high, or as much as two or three litres for very clean water) through a pre-weighed filter of a specified pore size, then weighing the filter again after the drying process that removes all water on the filter.

8. Bacteriological water analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriological_water_analysis

   Bacteriological water analysis is a method of analysing water to estimate the numbers of bacteria present and, if needed, to find out what sort of bacteria they are. It represents one aspect of water quality. It is a microbiological analytical procedure which uses samples of water and from these samples determines the concentration of bacteria ...

9. Winkler titration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkler_titration

   Dissolved oxygen (D.O.) is widely used in water quality studies and routine operation of water reclamation facilities to analyze its level of oxygen saturation. In the test, an excess of manganese(II) salt, iodide (I −) and hydroxide (OH −) ions are added to a water sample causing a white precipitate of Mn(OH) 2 to form.
