One of the most common key resources for all living things is water. It is important for our survival and it impacts our world in s many ways. It can, however, become contaminated with bacteria and other harmful substances that can cause people to become ill. A way to counter this is by using water quality testing techniques allowing us to ensure our safety when drinking liquids.
The entire testing procedure is used on tap, well and stream to make sure that it is drinkable before it goes to the public. The tests are also conducted so that irrigation channels have a healthy supply of it for crops and marine wildlife. Scientist estimate that nearly 40 percent of H2O is unsafe to drink due to discharges from wastes and other contaminants.
Every year millions of people can become sick because of contaminated H2O and frequent testing is always needed. The Clean Water Action group states that public drinking supplies have to be checked so that it will meet the safety requirements that are given by the EPA.
The EPA deals strictly with the public and leaves private wells for the owners themselves to take care of. The public drinking supply comes from places like rivers, lakes, springs and reservoirs. Since it is regularly checked there is not need to test it yourself but if you notice in differences in your tap then you can test it on your own. Signs to look for include changes in color and smell.
This can be done professional and also volunteers like students or citizens. Sometimes the EPA will allow them to regularly participate in H20 analysis for any sudden changes and problems from chemicals.
Volunteer work can be done by contacting the EPA and receiving your testing kits, lesson plans and testing handouts. They all work together to make the job of quality insurance a little easier and up to date.
