Surface Water Testing
Surface water testing is essential in ensuring that our natural resources remain safe and suitable for various uses. This service involves a comprehensive examination of surface waters such as rivers, lakes, and streams to detect the presence or absence of pollutants, pathogens, nutrients, and other substances. Surface water plays a critical role in supporting ecosystems, providing drinking water supplies, and sustaining aquatic life.
Our laboratory employs advanced analytical methods that adhere to international standards like ISO 7869-1:2014 for physicochemical parameters such as pH, conductivity, temperature, and turbidity. For biological indicators, we comply with ISO 5667-1:2013 to ensure accuracy in measuring coliform bacteria levels. The testing process begins with the collection of representative water samples from different locations along the body of water. These samples are then prepared according to specific protocols outlined by regulatory bodies.
The testing scope encompasses a wide range of parameters including but not limited to dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate and phosphate concentrations, heavy metals like lead and mercury, and organic compounds such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals. We also conduct comprehensive bacteriological analyses following the methods prescribed in ISO 16140-2:2015 for total coliforms and faecal coliforms.
Our team of experts uses cutting-edge instrumentation to ensure precise measurements and reliable results. From flow measurement devices to spectrophotometers, our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that guarantees high accuracy in all analytical processes. The data collected during these tests provides valuable insights into the overall quality of surface waters and helps in identifying potential risks.
The importance of proper surface water testing cannot be overstated. It plays a crucial role in maintaining public health, protecting aquatic ecosystems, and complying with environmental regulations set forth by governmental bodies such as the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency). By adhering to stringent quality control measures, we ensure that every test result is accurate and trustworthy.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond just technical proficiency. We continuously invest in training our staff on the latest testing methodologies and technologies while staying updated with all relevant standards and guidelines. This dedication ensures that clients receive reliable and actionable information from their surface water tests.
