The Assessment of Water Quality

Abstract
The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the methods employed by water treatment facilities to measure turbidity, color, and odor in water; (2) to estimate the variability of measures obtained routinely by the most commonly employed methods; and (3) to relate combinations of measured turbidity, color, and odor values to public acceptability of drinking water. The main end-products of the study were a set of cumulative distributions of water quality measurements and a family of water quality acceptance curves for combinations of turbidity, color, and odor values throughout the full range of public acceptability.
