Quality of Water and its Important Aspects

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about quality of water which refers to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water based on the standards of its usage. It is most frequently used by reference to a set of standards against which compliance, generally achieved through treatment of the water, can be assessed. and its important aspects
