What Is Water Quality Testing?
Water quality testing is the process of analyzing and evaluating the characteristics and composition of water to assess its suitability for various purposes, such as drinking, recreation, agriculture, industrial use, and environmental monitoring. It involves collecting water samples and conducting a series of tests to measure different parameters and indicators that determine the water’s quality and potential contaminants.
