Pilot monitoring based on Annex II of JMD Y2 / 2600/2011-892 B / 07.01.11), as amended and in force.
Purpose of pilot monitoring is to obtain data necessary to assess water quality (organoleptic and microbiological) before human consumption.
Equally important is the information obtained regarding the effectiveness of drinking water treatment/disinfection – if applicable.
