The key focus of the workshop is around the use of portable test kits for testing the physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters of drinking water. In addition, participants will gain essential knowledge in various other areas, including health and safety practices, and an understanding of World Health Organization guidelines and national standards for drinking water quality. This course will also include proficient water sampling techniques and an exploration of different test methods for measuring physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. Lastly, participants will gain knowledge on interpreting and reporting water quality data.
