N B Narasimha Prasad

WHO standard for drinking water quality is the one which can be referred in general for any region. However for better understanding, applicability and sustainability on regional scale, one has to develop their own WQI based on natural and manmade water quality related parameters/activities/issues.

Hazim Jumaa Mahmood

Dear Mr. Wisam,

The index that you select may vary for the circumstances. So for your circumstance, you are the most knowledgeable to select, one, two or more for your intent and if you want to compare results from your area with results of other areas that use different indices. I can imagine you may have many things to consider. Hopefully, you will find an index or indices that are relatively easy and inexpensive to collect, but are truly reliable and representative of the intent you want to provide.

Md Saadman Sakib

Internationally, you can follow WHO's guideline for drinking water quality from this link: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/254637/1/9789241549950-eng.pdf?ua=1

However, each country has their own legal framework to monitor and control pollution in the water bodies. For example, in Germany:

Federal Water Act (Wasserhaushaltsgesetz - WHG vom 19.8.2002): basic principles for water resource management Federal Drinking Water Ordinance (Trinkwasser-Verordnung - TrinkwV vom 21.5.2001, and revisions, until 2017): Requirements for drinking water quality and based on the regulations of the EC Drinking Water Directive DIN 2000: Guidelines for drawing up requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of public drinking water supply systems If you want to work in Germany as water technologist, you must follow DIN 2000 and LAWA water quality index.
