Water quality is depended on 3 aspects include physical, chemical and biological aspect.
Water quality can be assessed by comparing the measurement data with local or international standards. The purposes for those standards are to protect human's health and safety and to provide a healthy aquatic environment for the organisms.
Through the measurement data, the condition of water and pollution trend can be observed, and a monitoring programme can be designed to prevent the condition from getting worse.
