Groundwater Quality Standards

Groundwater Quality Standards are official guidelines that specify safe levels of substances in underground water sources used for drinking, agriculture, and industry. They help ensure the water is safe by limiting contaminants like bacteria, chemicals, or minerals that could harm health or the environment. These standards are set based on scientific research and accepted health effects, guiding Water Authorities and regulators to monitor, manage, and protect groundwater supplies to prevent pollution and ensure their safe use.
