Water is a transparent, nearly colorless, tasteless, and odorless chemical substance, which is the fluids of most living organisms, and the main constituent of earth's oceans, lakes, and streams. Water plays an important role in people's daily life and academic research. Approximately 70% of the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture. Fishing in fresh water bodies and salt is a major source of food for many parts of the world. For a wide variety of chemical substances, water is an excellent solvent; as such it is widely used in cooking, washing and in industrial processes.
Protecting our environmental water resources and maintaining quality water sources is fundamental in maintaining life. Water quality refers to radiological characteristics, the chemical, biological, and physical of water. And water quality analysis is a measure of the condition of water relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species and or to any human purpose or need. There are various testing may be performed to evaluate, including ambient or environmental water quality, wastewater, "raw water" quality, "finished" water quality, suitability of water for industrial uses.
