Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW) of 2017
Drinking water must be clear and does not have objectionable ___, _____, _____
taste, odor, and color
The quality of drinking-water shall be measured in terms of its ____, _____, _____, _____
chemical
microbiological
physical
radiological constituents
three parameters for standards for drinking-water quality:
total coliform
thermotolerant coliform
heterotrophic plate count
give three points of compliance for total coliform
water refilling station
water vending machines
water haulers
give three points of compliance for thermotolerant coliform
food establishments
ice plants
water treatment works
give three points of compliance for heterotrophic plate count
all buildings
bulk water
consumer’s taps
The parameters of drinking-water quality shall be classified as
Mandatory
Primary
Secondary
Emergency Drinking-Water Parameters*
Sustainable Developmental Goal (SDG) Parameters*
what three parameters does only have consumer’s taps as its sampling location
cadmium
lead
turbidity
what three parameters does only have treatment plant outlet/source as its sampling location
arsenic
nitrate
total dissolved solids
give three parameters for mandatory drinking-water quality
cadmium
lead
turbidity
give three parameters for primary drinking-water quality
barium
benzene
boron
give three parameters for secondary drinking-water quality
manganese
odor
sodium
parameters that are legally enforceable
Mandatory parameters
(T/F) Primary Parameters are the core parameters shall be required for examination by all drinking-water service providers
FALSE, should be mandatory parameters
The frequency of testing for mandatory parameters, except for E. coli/Thermotolerant Coliform and residual disinfectant, may be reduced to every ____ if the LDWQMC found the consolidated water quality reports showed undetectable levels (below MDL) of a particular mandatory parameter for 3 consecutive years
three (3) years
______ are the minimum parameters required to be tested for initial and periodic examinations.
mandatory parameters
(T/F) the mandatory parameters cannot include additional parameters from the list of primary and secondary as determined by the LDWQMC
FALSE; it may include
(T/F) additional parameters shall be based on the result of the risk assessment of the water sources where potential contamination from the natural or anthropogenic activities may occur
TRUE
These parameters are site-specific. These are chemical impurities in water that directly affect health through acute or chronic exposure
PRIMARY PARAMETERS
(T/F) secondary parameters can be adapted as enforceable parameters, in addition to the mandatory parameters
FALSE; should be primary parameters
are those that render the water unacceptable for drinking
SECONDARY PARAMETERS
these include operational parameters which affect the efficiency of the treatment process.
SECONDARY PARAMETERS
(T/F) During the first 54 hours, temporary supply of water shall be provided by the local government unit (LGU).
FALSE, first 72hrs
