The Different Tests for APES water Quality

DO water test (Quantitative)

A test that measures the amount of dissolved oxygen in water, which is crucial for the survival of aquatic organisms and indicates the water's overall health.

Fecal coliform water test (Quantitative)

A laboratory test used to detect the presence of fecal coliform bacteria in water samples, indicating potential contamination by fecal matter and assessing the safety of water for recreational or drinking purposes.

BOD water test (Quantitative)

A test that measures the biochemical oxygen demand in water, indicating the amount of organic matter present and the potential impact on water quality and aquatic life.

Turbidity water test (Quantitative)

A test that measures the cloudiness or haziness of water caused by suspended particles, which can affect light penetration and aquatic life.

Conductivity water test (Quantitative)

A test that measures the ability of water to conduct an electrical current, which indicates the presence of dissolved salts and other ions, affecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

Macroinvertebrates water test (Qualitative)

A test that assesses the diversity and abundance of macroinvertebrates in aquatic environments, serving as indicators of water quality and ecosystem health.
