Improvement in Drinking Water Quality Surveillance in Gujarat

July 2014

Results from PAS studies show that information on water quality is of low reliability. The PAS partner, UMC has developed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for routine water quality surveillance in cities of Gujarat. The SOP is a step-by-step guide for water supply department staff to establish a uniform procedure for routine collection and testing of water samples. It also contains a set of recording formats to help ULBs to document the water surveillance results for better decision making and improved governance. Water quality sampling tool will enable users to formulate city-specific sampling regime.
