INTRODUCTION
What is water quality?
The physical, chemical & Biological characteristics of
water with respect to its suitability for designated use.

What is water quality analysis?

It is to measure the required parameters of water to
check whether they are in accordance with BIS
standards.
 OBJECTIVE
To measure the required parameters of water to
check whether they are in accordance with BIS
standards.
To monitor the efficiency of a system working for
water quality maintenance.
Public health [especially for drinking purpose]
Industrial use.
To know the degree of treatment required.
 ACTION PLAN
