Water quality testing is essential for several reasons:
1. Detection of Contaminants: It helps in identifying harmful pathogens, chemicals, and other contaminants that can cause diseases. 2. Public Health Protection: Ensuring water safety helps in preventing outbreaks of diseases like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery. 3. Regulatory Compliance: It ensures that water supplies meet the standards set by regulatory bodies like the EPA and WHO. 4. Environmental Monitoring: Helps in assessing the impact of industrial and agricultural activities on water bodies.
