METROLOGY AS A CORNERSTONE FOR GLOBAL WATER QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEMS

Аннотация

With the accelerating impacts of climate change and population growth, access to safe drinking water is under severe threat globally. Accurate and reliable monitoring of water quality is essential to ensure human health and environmental safety. This paper investigates the role of metrology in the development and maintenance of water quality monitoring systems. We examine metrological support for water testing laboratories, standardization of measurement techniques, and the necessity of international harmonization in water-related metrology. Graphs and data tables illustrate current trends and regional disparities in water quality monitoring practices.
