"The primary purpose of drinking water treatment is the protection of public health. The quantity of drinking water and the efficiency of treatment can be assessed through comparison to guidelines. In Canada, the applicable document is the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (1993) which has been adopted as minimum drinking water quality for licensed facilities in the province of Alberta. Most other developed countries have similar guidelines or regulations. The World Health Organization has also developed "Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality" (WHO, 1993) with a primary aim of protecting public health. To assess drinking water quality in the Northern River Basin Study area results obtained from existing information and that obtained during this study were compared to both sets of guidelines discussed above"--Report summary.
