Abstract

Nowadays water quality monitoring during the different phases of production of drinking water is a very important task of responsible waterworks. Monitoring of this water supply network at the last points has much more importance. Different methods have been used for this purpose. In this paper, various criteria which are influencing the sampling task have been studied in the City of Mashhad. Results shows, this method is a very good approach for monitoring the chemical parameters changes in the water, but due to the vastness of the studying area and large number of the wells which is connecting to the supplying network directly, it is commented for parameters like free chlorine increase the sampling numbers from the random places two times comparing the fixed sampling points. Regarding the Microbial test, at least this factor might be equal to the one. This factor is different for different networks and every network needs its special studies to declare the rates between samples from random point to the fixed points.
