Water is essential to sustain life, and asatisfactory (adequate, safe and accessible)
supply must be available to all.Improving access to safe drinking-watercan result in tangible benefits to health.Every effort should be made to achieve
a drinking-water quality as safe aspracticable.

A holistic approach to drinking-water supply risk assessment and risk management increases confidence in the safety of drinking-water. This approach entails systematic assessment of risks throughout a drinking-water supply – from the catchment and its source water through to the consumer – and identification of the ways in which these risks can be managed, including methods to ensure that control measures are working effectively. It incorporates strategies to deal with day-to-day management of water quality, including upsets and failures.

Water Quality Testing
• Water quality is defined by analyzing it in terms of its:
• Chemical Content: Hardness (calcium + magnesium), Metals (iron etc), nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), chloride, sodium, organic compounds, etc.
• Physical Content: Turbidity, colour, odour, etc.• Biological Content: Fecal coliform, total
coliform, viruses, etc
