Quality water is safe water, but how can we tell if water is of good quality and is safe for consumption? Assessing the quality of water goes beyond mere visual inspection. It requires a comprehensive evaluation of various physical, chemical, and biological characteristics, depending on its intended use.

In the Philippines, adhering to the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW) is of paramount importance in attaining quality water. Since its establishment in 1963, the PNSDW has served as a guiding framework for all drinking water service providers such as the government, private developers and operators, water refilling stations, ice manufacturers, health and sanitation authorities, food establishments, and water testing laboratories in providing safe and quality water to protect the health of the consumers.

To further promote water and wastewater quality, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) issued Administrative Order No. 2016-08, a comprehensive guideline for different sectors to adhere to the General Effluent Standards. These standards play a vital role in preserving the environment, safeguarding public health, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
