What is the Importance of Continuous Monitoring of Water Resources?

Access to Clean and Healthy Water!

Water is the basis of life and indispensable for a healthy environment. However, factors such as increasing population, industrialization and climate change threaten our water resources. Therefore, continuous monitoring of water resources is an important process for both human health and environmental sustainability.

Today, increasing environmental problems directly threaten the quality and quantity of water. Regular monitoring of water resources has become essential for shaping not only the present but also the future in a healthy and sustainable manner.

Factors Affecting Water Quality

Water has a complex structure that needs to be analyzed chemically, physically and biologically. The main factors affecting its quality are as follows:

Chemical parameters: Substances such as pH value, heavy metals, nitrogen compounds, detergent residues directly affect the usability of water.
Microbiological risks: Harmful microorganisms such as coliform bacteria can pose a serious threat to human health.
Physical variables: Physical properties such as color, turbidity and temperature determine the aesthetic and functional quality of water.

Regular monitoring of these factors both reduces risks to human health and maintains the balance of the ecosystem.

Why Continuous Monitoring is Necessary?

Intermittent or one-time analyzes may not be enough to notice sudden changes in water resources. Industrial discharges, agricultural pollution and seasonal changes can change water quality instantly. Therefore monitoring:

Provides early detection of possible pollution.
It ensures that water resources remain within legal limits.
Contributesto the protection of public health.
It provides confirmation of suitability foragricultural, industrial and drinking water use.

The Role of Water Analysis

Water analysis can be applied for different areas of use such as drinking water, surface water, groundwater, sea water, pool water. With analysis methods determined for each type of water:

Contaminants are detected,
Values are compared with national and international standards,
Necessary improvement steps are planned.

It is of great importance for the reliability of the results that these analyzes are performed by professional laboratories.

Nano-Lab performs water analyzes for different areas of use.

Water for Human Consumption: Analysis of drinking and utility water is important to protect human health.
Pool Water Analysis: Physical, chemical and microbiological tests are performed to evaluate the water quality of swimming pools.
Pure Water Analysis: The degree of purity of pure water for industrial and laboratory use is determined.
Hemodialysis Water Analysis: The quality of water used in dialysis centers is critical for the health of patients.
Agricultural Irrigation Water Analysis: The suitability of water used in agricultural activities for plant health is evaluated.
Cooling and Process Water Analysis: Analyzes are carried out to ensure that the water used in industrial processes does not harm the systems.
Zero Discharge of Hazardous Wastes (ZDHC): Analyzes are carried out for the disposal of industrial wastewater without harming the environment.

These analyses cover the physical properties of water (temperature, turbidity, color), chemical components (pH, heavy metals, nitrate, phosphate) and microbiological content (coliform bacteria, enterococci). The presence of radioactive substances is also assessed.

Nanolab Laboratories Group continues to provide services within the scope of Water Analysis.
