Water Quality Monitoring - Can It Assure Us Of Safe Drinking Water?
Water quality monitoring is a daunting and serious task that each state has to undertake. It sometimes boggles the mind that with so many ways for toxic contaminants to get into our water supply, here in the US, water supplies are one of the safest in the world. Having said that, this is no time to raise the champagne glass.
In recent years, there have been many stories in the media about the quality of the water supply. Stories such as "Traces Of Drugs In Drinking Water In 24 Major US Regions" and "Rocket Fuel Found In Drinking Water," have in many cases caused people to wonder if water quality monitoring should be 100% relied on.
Now, with the threat of terrorism a reality in the US, the tasks of the various water authorities have become even harder and more serious. Perhaps, no where is the threat more serious than in New York.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is responsible for ensuring that clean water gets to the 9 million people that live in the state and that the water supply is also protected from environmental terrorism. But even with the DEP's vigilance, there is no guarantee that levels of contamination found within the water supply will not violate state and federal laws.
In 2008, they collected 29,800 samples from the distribution system and completed 381,300 analytical tests on them. Some samples were found to contain excess turbidity, which the DEP deemed was seasonal and not serious.
However, they were cited by the New York Department of Health for not doing follow up tests since turbidity can be caused by the presence of harmful pathogens in the water supply.
In about 10% of the samples, lead was detected and found to be in excess. This lead was also found at the tap, which could indicate that pipes leached some lead into the tap water.
160 samples were tested for cryptosporidium and giardia cysts. Giardia was found in 111 and crytosporidium found in 18.
Now, fortunately, there were no reports of stomach illnesses as a result of presence of these micro-organisms. However the question must be asked again, can we totally rely on water quality monitoring to ensure that harmful contaminants don't get into our water supply? The answer is clearly "no"!
As consumers, we have to be proactive in making our tap water cleaner and safer. The best way to do this is to secure water filtration systems for our homes. Depending on the systems used, these devices can remove a variety of contaminants from our tap water that municipal water filtration missed.
However with so many types of water filter units on the market, we need to educate ourselves as to the best choices and on how to determine quality.

What does calcium hardness, CO2, etc. have to do with water quality?
What does calcium hardness, CO2, PH, nitrate, and phosphate have to do with water quality? Would you want these levels to be higher or lower if you wanted good water quality? What's a generally 'good' level of these for water?
Would your answers be different if we were discussing quality in terms of ecological standards or human consumption standards?
You don't have to answer every one of these questions, just a few answers will be well-appreciated. Thank you.
Calcium, hardness, CO2 are substances dissolved in water. Typically lower is better but with some considerations which I will discuss later. The EPA publishes a water quality standard which can be found here http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/drinking/dwstandards.pdf
A simple measurement of everything dissolved in water is TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) -- I'm guessing that might not include CO2 and 02 because they are gasses. Anyway, the maximum TDS the EPA allows for drinking water is 500ppm (or mg/l) Tap water is typically 200ppm TDS. However, just because water is 200ppm TDS doesn't make it good water for drinking. The levels of the individual substances become important. RO (Reverse Osmosis) can remove most of the dissolved solids. RO water would typically be around 20ppm TDS. Distilled water is theoretically 0ppm TDS but once water is purified to that point, it becomes "hungry" and will actually dissolve the pipes or container -- whatever it touches so typically distilled water has something dissolved in it because it has to be contained.... DI (DeIonized water) is distilled water that has been stored in a special inert plastic container with no exposure to air -- it is used in the semiconductor industry to wash parts. Drinking only that kind of water for any length of time could leach minerals out of your body. So water that is good for one purpose might not be good for another.
Typically water that is suitable for human consumption is ok for other organisms -- however, Chlorine and Florine can kill fish and beneficial bacteria, some animals are very sensitive to boron and copper. Animals and humans can survive on brackish water that has a TDS of about 10000ppm -- but only certain minerals can be tollerated (salt, calcium, etc. magnesium, sulphates and others cause digestive problems that will be overcome after using the water for some time).
Sea water is about 35000ppm TDS -- that is too salty for humans and most land animals to drink -- but it is a wonderful environment for fish and aquatic mammals.
