Analysis and Consulting – projects
Systematic analyses of analytical data from
quality control of drinking waterThe main objectives of the study are: 1) Systematic analysis of data from microbiological, chemical and physical analysis of drinking water, 2) Collection of information from the database on possible local influences caused by weather and temperature on microbiological, chemical and physical properties of drinking water, 3) Collection of information from the database on the influences of the distribution system on microbiological, chemical and physical properties of drinking water, 4) Carry out research to verify and support the information provided by analysis of the previously mentioned data, 5) Explore the possibilities to use of information from the database and the research results for revision and improvement of quality and safety control systems at water works.
