Protocol - Water Quality Certification

Quality Assurance Protocol

Standardized protocols for water quality testing, certification, and compliance verification.

Water Quality Test Protocol

Define test parameters and acceptance criteria:

WHO Drinking Water Standards:
- TDS: < 500 mg/L (acceptable), < 1000 mg/L (maximum)
- pH: 6.5 - 8.5
- Turbidity: < 5 NTU
- Chloride: < 250 mg/L
- Sodium: < 200 mg/L
- Bacteria: 0 CFU/100mL

Certification Workflow

Sample Collection: Automated sampling at defined intervals
Laboratory Testing: Multi-parameter analysis
Data Validation: Compare against WHO standards
Certificate Generation: Issue digital certificate with blockchain verification
Distribution: Release certified water to supply network

Integration - Water Distribution System

System Integration

Connect desalination facilities with municipal water distribution networks, SCADA systems, and smart water management platforms.
