The Raw Water Quality Standard is a set of parameters and quality limits used to assess and control the quality of water used as a raw material for drinking water supply. Raw water is a source of untreated water that can come from rivers, lakes, wells, springs, or other sources that will be processed into safe drinking water for human consumption.
The raw water quality standard is important for protecting public health and the environment. The goal of the raw water quality standard is to ensure that the water used as a raw material for drinking water production does not contain contaminants that could harm human health or the environment.
The treatment of raw water by the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) involves a series of steps and processes to convert raw water taken from natural sources such as rivers, lakes, or springs into safe and quality drinking water. This water treatment process can vary depending on local conditions, the quality of the raw water, and the available resources.
Therefore, the raw water that serves as the raw material for processing into drinking water must be strictly monitored regarding quality standards, so that the water can be safe for consumption after undergoing a series of treatments.
Most factories in Indonesia already have wastewater treatment plants (IPAL). This is an installation located within the factory that operates to treat liquid waste before it is discharged into the environment, in order to meet standards. Thus, the waste discharged does not damage the ecosystem or lower the quality standard of the river's raw water.
PT Sensor Teknologi Indonesia has taken a role in monitoring the raw water quality standards through the Sensync Qua product.
Sensync Qua Sparing is intended for several types of industries, according to recommendations from KLHK. In its journey, it provides value benefits for monitoring liquid waste resulting from treatment in IPAL. Thus, data can be validated for each tenant that has been equipped with Sparing.
Meanwhile, Sensync Qua Onlimo is used to measure the raw water quality standards in rivers, using several testing parameters. Thus, data can be validated as a collective result of measurements against water pollution parameters in the river.
We, PT Sensor Teknologi Indonesia, are very concerned about efforts to build a Sustainable Economy. This is a concept that emphasizes the importance of long-term economic growth without damaging or sacrificing natural resources, the environment, and the well-being of future generations.
In this context, maintaining water quality and preventing water pollution is an important element of a Sustainable Economy. Let us all take part in every step we take to maintain the raw water quality standards for a better future.
