Water Quality
1.0 WATER QUALITY
LESSON OUTCOME:
* To identify the physical water quality parameters such as suspended solids, turbidity, color, taste and odor and temperature. * To calculate the solids parameter * To identify the chemical water quality parameters such as total dissolved solid, alkalinity and hardness * To calculate the water alkalinity and hardness * To demonstrate the biological water quality parameters such as pathogens and indicators
Water Quality Parameter 1.1 Physical Parameter: Physical parameters define those characteristics of water that …
