Question

How is the quality of our water ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Scientists measure a variety of properties to determine water quality. These include temperature, acidity (pH), dissolved solids (specific conductance), particulate matter (turbidity), dissolved oxygen, hardness and suspended sediment. Each reveals something different about the health of a water body.

Maintaining water quality

creeks, rivers and groundwater in the drinking water catchments.

dams - that store the raw (untreated) water.

canals, pipelines and tunnels - that move the water between dams and to the treatment plants.

treatment plants - that filter and clean the raw water to drinking water standards.
