Water Quality Index
Coagulation Model
Comparison
| Parameter | WHO Guideline | Treatment Method | Detection Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbidity | < 1 NTU | Filtration | 0.1 NTU |
| pH | 6.5-8.5 | Adjustment | 0.1 units |
| Chlorine | 0.2-5 mg/L | Chlorination | 0.01 mg/L |
| Lead | < 10 ug/L | Adsorption | 0.5 ug/L |
