Hydrology, Water Resources, and Climate Resilience
Resource efficiency is an important aspect in the efforts to support and evolve economic development, while maintaining all natural systems unaffected. However, resource efficiency cannot guarantee the perpetual use of existing water resources. Water resource efficiency policy must be based on an awareness of the number of resources that can be used, but also the impact of activities on the environment and how it is affected. Developing and increasing the number of consumers. Options for water sources used for drinking water and irrigation will continue to evolve, with a growing dependence on groundwater and alternative sources, including wastewater. This study aims to monitor the quality of water distributed to consumers from Suceava county. The physico-chemical and microbiological analysis of the drinking water in the city was carried out in several strategic points, covering the entire distribution network. Samples were taken both from the catchment wells area and from the storage/storage tanks for drinking water and were analyzed. Physical-chemical parameters (pH, turbidity, conductivity, oxidability, oxidation, etc, free residual chlorine, nitrates, nitrites and ammonium, hardness and in the case of the water station was also performed iron analysis) and microbiological (total number of aerobic mesophilic germs and number of coliform bacteria). The analysis points were chosen according to the way of distribution of water in the city, taking into account its route (7 different points). The day of the week, the time interval, the volume of water consumed, and the number of accidental damages occurred on the distribution network are the factors that influence the values of the analyzed parameters. During the study, there were no exceedances of the maximum concentration allowed by national legislation, for none of the analyzed parameters.
