Water Quality Specialist

Water quality is the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water and is most frequently used by reference to a set of standards against which compliance can be assessed. Water quality specialists are experts in knowing, understanding and working with an established set of standards.  They also work with government agencies in making political and technical/scientific decisions about how the water will be used.

In the case of natural water bodies, they also make some reasonable estimate of pristine conditions. Different uses raise different concerns and therefore different standards are considered. Natural water bodies will vary in response to environmental conditions. They work to understand how these systems function which in turn helps to identify the sources and fates of contaminants.

Environmental attorneys and policy makers work to define legislation that ensures that water is maintained at an appropriate quality for its identified use.  The vast majority of our surface water is neither potable nor toxic.  This remains true even if sea water in the oceans (which is too salty to drink) is not counted.

Another general perception of water quality is that of a simple property that tells whether water is polluted or not. In fact, water quality is a very complex subject, in part because water is a complex medium intrinsically tied to the ecology of the earth. Industrial pollution is a major cause of water pollution, as well as runoff from agricultural areas, urban stormwater runoff, and discharge of treated and untreated sewage, especially in developing countries.
