These are measures used to evaluate the physical, chemical, and biological composition of water and determine whether it meets established standards for various uses, such as human consumption, recreation, agriculture, protection of aquatic life, and conservation of the aquatic ecosystem. The following are some common parameters used in the evaluation of water quality:
-PH
-Temperature
-Dissolved oxygen
-Electrical conductivity
-Turbidity
-Nitrates and phosphates
-Heavy metals
-Organic pollutants
