ABSTRACT
For most treatment plants, even in industrialised countries, there would be neither time nor capability in personnel or laboratory facilities to do more than the analyses that bear directly on the treatment process. In this book, therefore, the discussion is limited to the analyses that a basic laboratory for a small water treatment plant could realistically achieve. The information that should be collected and recorded is shown in Box 4.1, including data needed for specific analyses described in this and other chapters.
