Surface Water is one of the significant component of Hydrologic Cycle and by maintaining the Quality of the Ground Water like streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands can help in Protecting Ecosystems and Biodiversity.
[Surface Water, is a significant component of the Hydrologic Cycle. As such, the maintenance of the Quality of Ground Water in streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands helps Protect the Ecosystem and ensure Biodiversity.]
Surface Water Testing ensures the Examination of Drinking and Bathing water in terms of Safety and Quality. Surface Water can be various categories for example, Class A (Drinking Water without Conventional Treatment) and Class B (Bathing Water), Class C (Drinking water without Conventional treatment), Class D (Water for Fish Culture and Wildlife) and Class E (Irrigation and Industrial). Surface Water Testing includes several Analysis like Organic Analysis (Hydrocarbons, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Inorganic Analysis (Heavy Metals). Besides, Water Surface Testing also needs to cover the Microbiological Parameters and Nutrient Identification for evaluating the Quality Parameters of Surface Water.
[Surface Water can be categorized into various Classes such as:
Surface Water Testing i.e. Analysis of Drinking and Bathing water in terms of Safety and Quality covers:
