Water Microbiology

The quality of our global freshwater supplies is increasingly threatened by contamination. Although water contains natural contaminants, it is increasingly polluted by human activities such as improper sewage treatment, fly tipping, poor agricultural practices, and chemical spills at industrial sites.

Water quality monitoring is a tool that can be used to identify safe drinking water – whether at the source, in a piped distribution system, or in the home. Water testing plays an important role in checking the correct operation of water supply systems, verifying the safety of drinking water, investigating outbreaks, and validating processes and measures. preventive.
