My most pressuring question from Student Worksheet 1' is 'How do we determine if water is potable?'. So, I did a research on it today in class. I found a link that I believe contains my best interest. The link is http://www.water-testing.eu/water-tests/potablewatertest.asp.
If you wonder how I determined if the resource is reliable or accurate, here's what I searched for. The site is created by South East Water Scientific Services, a company in UK. I find this reliable and accurate because they provide other links to their different types of services, phone number, address, and their company number. I also looked up the name, and they do water testing as one of their services.
On this site, I found informations that helped me answer my question is some type of way. I learned that a potable drinking water does not contain enough salt to be recognized as a mineral water, and it tastes good. It must also be free from contaminations such as diseases causing organisms (pathogens), odor, harmful chemicals, and turbidity. Last of all, it's best to do routine tests once a year.
Nia - you did a terrific job with this assignment! You found credible information that answered your question. Did you try searching on www.scholar.google.com? It is possible a search there would give you information that would be more than you needed for this situation.
