water quality research paper

Data about water quality can be evaluated using a Water Quality Index (WQI). Computing WQI is a quick and affordable technique to accurately summarise the quality of water.

Drinking water quality should meet physicochemical pollutants criteria and be entirely free of pathogens that could harm people’s health. Furthermore, user perceptions of water quality are critical to the long-term viability of drinking water sources (Ochoo et al., 2017; Sherry et al., 2019).

In a special issue on “Drinking Water Quality and Human Health” IJERPH , 20 papers were recently published on different topics related to drinking water. Eight papers were on microbiological contamination, 11 papers on chemical contamination, and one on radioactivity.

This paper sets out with two primary aims: first, to provide a review of the existing literature on methods for selecting parameters. Second, it seeks to delineate and evaluate the four principal motivations for parameter selection identified in the literature.

Water quality index (WQI) is one of the most used tools to describe water quality. It is based on physical, chemical, and biological factors that are combined into a single value that ranges from 0 to 100 and involves 4 processes: (1) parameter selection, (2) transformation of the raw data into common scale, (3) providing weights and (4 ...

This study evaluated the physico-chemical and bacteriological quality of drinking water supplied by the municipality from source to the point of use at Thulamela municipality, Limpopo Province,...

Here we (1) describe the challenges in water-quality sciences that DL can help to resolve, (2) review opportunities for DL in water quality prediction, particularly in addressing data...
