Why is it necessary to conduct water quality monitoring on sewage and wastewater? What would happen if water quality monitoring were not conducted? If you understood the harm caused by water pollution, you wouldn’t ask like this. Please look down!
Water quality monitoring refers to the real-time monitoring of various indicators in water, such as suspended solids and chemical substances. It plays a significant role in maintaining the health of the water supply environment!
For Drinking Water
1) When there are harmful bacteria in the water, including various infectious diseases;
2) When there are a large number of plankton in the water, it will affect the physical properties of the water. At this time, the odor will be emitted and the color of the water quality will also change.
3) Mineral salt impurities in water can also cause various diseases.
4) If the fluoride content exceeds the standard, teeth will develop streaks, which can lead to “dental plaque disease”. In severe cases, tooth decay may occur.
5) There is also a possibility that some domestic sewage discharged can spread diseases. From this, it can be seen that studying water treatment and testing whether water quality meets standards are important tasks for ensuring physical health!
What is the Purpose of Monitoring Industrial Water Use
For industrial water, it is necessary to understand the physical properties and chemical composition of water bodies, because in various industrial water uses, not only is sufficient water volume required, but also different production uses have different demands for water quality. For instance, the water used in boilers must not contain a large amount of calcium and magnesium sulfates. If there is a significant amount of calcium and magnesium, scale will form inside the boiler, which will consume a lot of fuel. In more severe cases, it may even cause an explosion. In metallurgical plants, the content of suspended solids in the feed water is required to be very high. Therefore, it is also necessary to do a good job in water quality monitoring. In addition, when using industrial water, one should also take into account the product quality and the issue that it is prone to damaging containers and pipelines.
Therefore, if water quality monitoring is not carried out, it will not only cause harm to the ecological environment, but also affect product quality, human health and other issues. The scope of water quality monitoring is actually very broad. Besides the two situations mentioned above, there are also online monitoring of medical wastewater, industrial wastewater discharge monitoring, as well as some natural water (rivers, streams, and streams) that has not been polluted or has already been polluted.
