The improvement of monitoring water quality drinking in large cities [articol]

Abstract

Water is a resource to be protected. This involves high costs, and managing the problem is a continuous activity with long-term results. At present, the battle is on two major fronts: on the one hand, the implementation of the Urban Waste Water Directive needs to be completed, and on the other hand the fight against water pollution must be continued more effectively. Nowadays monitoring water quality is a special challenge because of the large number of chemicals in our everyday lives and in commerce that can make their way into our waters. Drinking water quality monitoring programs aim to support provision of safe drinking water by informing water quality management. Access to safe drinking water can prevent disease outbreaks, and lower diarrheal and other disease burden.
