Water and wastewater analysis – A guide manual by Central Pollution Control Board
This guide manual on water and wastewater analysis prepared by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), caters to the need of evolving a simplified code of practice for the laboratories engaged in carrying out water quality assessment under the Hydrology Project-II implemented by the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR).
It is expected that the development and proper use of such a manual by concerned laboratories will bring homogeneity for ensuring quality assurance especially in water and wastewater analysis.
